Hello, I'm Susan Human. This is the Yesterday in Parliament podcast. On Monday,

the 27th of October, the Justice Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister, David Lamy,

faced MPs to answer their questions about the accidental released and re-arrest of a high-profile foreign national

But frankly, he felt the Conservative government's cuts to the justice system were really to blame.

Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick saw it. Dear, oh dear, where to begin. This Justice Secretary

could not deport the only smallboat migrant who wanted, no, who tried to be deported.

He added,

At that, David Lammy threw his head back and roared with mirth that he may not have

truly felt.
