No, I'm just curious, you know, about... So, you know, the prison's minister, James Timpson, there was a lot of hope around his appointment because his company did employ ex-offenders and was essentially providing a model for a better way to rehabilitate prisoners. I did have some questions about it, though.
I've recently discovered that, like, as part of the scheme, he wouldn't take anyone under 25. And I just wanted to, A, get your thoughts on that.
I didn't even realise I didn't even realise how much I agreed with that honestly every time my 21 year old mates yes I have them are like oh I'm going on some dates I'm like oh I'm dating some children that must be hard for you
A lot more, yeah. I'll be honest, when I heard that the Timpson model, which I thought was brilliant, excluded men under 25, I just thought, well, what will happen to them? What will we do with them? Have you got any solutions for younger men?
But would that pass the Daily Mail test? Because I recall reading in the Daily Mail test some outrage about women prisoners who would be released for a day to go and work in McDonald's. Fair enough, they want to earn some money, they want to get some skills, get some job experience for when they come out. The Daily Mail seemed to be livid about this.
The idea you'd be served your Big Mac by someone who was an offender seemed to really upset them. Do you really think it could happen?
You're not going to McDonald's at all. Soz.
No, good. Well, you did it for me because I was going to do it.
Yeah, for sure. And thank you, Peter Sinnott as well. You're very welcome. Please look out for the Prison Reform Trust and the work you're doing.
Great.
OK, so it's that time again, Tory leadership. Since we spoke to you last, we've had two eliminations. The best known but least popular candidate, Priti Patel, was eliminated last Wednesday. And the least known and least likely candidate, Mel Stride, was knocked out on Tuesday afternoon.
And the briefing against each other has begun. So Stephen Swinford of The Times writes that supporters of Badenoch claimed at the weekend that she was the victim of a dirty tricks campaign designed to push her out of the leadership contest.
They suggested that some right-wing MPs who want to see Jenrick elected had lent their votes to Cleverley in the first round of voting in a bid to undermine Badenoch. This was emphatically rejected by the Jenrick camp, who said that the claims were, and we quote, pathetic and desperate.
What is it about it that makes you zone out so strongly and quickly? I think it's just the sort of...
Have you not found that he's looking a little American at the moment?
Well, he seems to be releasing all these photos with these signs of people holding up signs behind him, like Jenrick for leader or whatever. Right, okay, yeah. It's all quite, well, it sounds American.
Also, it's hard to shake the, well, this is pointless feeling because we know what the Conservatives are like. If you become leader, I give you 18 months before someone stabs you straight in the back and then they spin you around and straight in the heart. That's how it works. I mean, look, on the bright side, you will get a bit of a Tory break now because...
I mean, they've sort of said everything they need to say. The next we'll hear from them is at the party conference. That's where the leaders will sequentially give speeches to Conservative Party members. I'm sure we'll cover that. But until then, you can have a little rest, have a little sit down.
So, introducing Crooked's new social media channel, where we put real news back in your feed, so doom scrolling just got a little bit healthier.
Now, last week, we updated you all on the results of the Grenfell inquiry. Please do go back and check it out if you haven't already. But to keep it brief, it found that decades of failure and systematic dishonesty were the root causes of the disaster. Never one to avoid a chance at airbrushing his legacy, the former PM, Lord David Cameron, took to X writing...
