A first responder has accused Andy Burnham’s government of “spitting in the faces of police officers” after Downing Street claimed it cannot stop the early release of two of PC Andrew Harper’s killers.
Former officer Chris Bushnell, who met with PC Harper on the day he died while responding to a quad bike theft in Berkshire in 2019, said he finds the possibility of Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers being released early “absolutely outrageous”.
