Taylor Swift is extending The Eras Tour once again!

The Government will pledge to send more foreign prisoners home, with ministers under pressure to act amid serious pressure on prison capacity. Justice Secretary Alex Chalk has already signalled plans to send fewer “low-level offenders” to prison, as he prepares to set out a range of reforms covering England and Wales later on Monday.
The announcement will also see plans to bring forward legislation that would allow prisoners to be held overseas, a move that the Government said follows steps taken by Belgium and Norway. It comes amid serious concerns about overcrowding in British prisons, with 88,225 people currently incarcerated in England and Wales.
The Ministry of Justice said that over 3,1000 foreign criminals have already been removed in the year to March, but 10,500 remain locked up in England and Wales. Under new plans, foreign offenders will be removed sooner into their sentences with more caseworkers deployed to speed up removals.
Currently, foreign criminals can be removed up to a year before the end of their sentence. Ministers want to now bring that forward six months, in a move is hoped will save £70,000 per prisoner.
Officials are also looking at what more can be done to remove foreign offenders convicted of less serious offences more quickly, with plans as well to introduce new conditions to ban those convicted from returning to the UK.
“It’s right that foreign criminals are punished but it cannot be right that some are sat in prison costing taxpayers £47,000 a year when they could be deported,” Mr Chalk said.
“Instead of letting foreign nationals take up space in our prisons at vast expense to the law-abiding public we will take action to get them out of the country and stop them from ever returning.”

Of the remaining three quarters who hadn’t yet experimented with AI, 46 per cent said that they would be willing to try using the tools in the future.More revealing, however, of the total number of people surveyed, only 48 per cent of artists confirmed that they would tell their listeners when AI was involved in their music, and 53 per cent admitted that they were concerned about how their audience would react if they knew the music they were listening to was aided by artificial intelligence.The report from Pirate also noted that 55 per cent of artists are actively acquiring new skills in response to ongoing advancements in AI.
