Papers Lead on Jail Blunder and Palace Pressure

Many front pages focus on an Epping asylum seeker jailed for sexual assault who was released from prison by mistake, a "jail blunder" that drew Kemi Badenoch’s accusation Labour is "putting predators back on the streets" and Sir Keir Starmer’s post on X saying he was "appalled." Papers also report Prince Andrew in advanced talks to leave Royal Lodge amid pressure after revelations in Virgina Guiffre’s posthumous memoirs; he denies her claims. The Times says Rachel Reeves plans a living wage rise despite warnings of job losses and price hikes, while reports debate union access and business rates pledges.
