Snippet:
Prime Minister Andy Burnham's plan to stop the early release of PC Andrew Harper's killers is prominent across Wednesday's papers. The Daily Express says the prime minister has done a "U-turn" on his early release scheme by instructing the justice secretary to find a way to exclude Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers, who were jailed for 13 years in 2020 over Harper's killing, from early release.
