25.10.2025 โ‡ข The Day the Migrant Sex Offender Was Mistakenly Released
โŒจUK media opened with the ongoing manhunt for an asylum seeker accused of sexual assault, mistakenly released from prison in Epping, with police confirming his last sighting in London. This continued to be a prominent story throughout the day, with reports emerging in the afternoon that the migrant had attempted to return to prison multiple times after his mistaken release, and was even directed to a train station by prison staff.

Concurrently, Lucy Powell was named the new deputy leader of the Labour party, a development some outlets described as "inconvenient" for Keir Starmer. Powell subsequently warned Starmer that Labour had "let Farage run away with it," further highlighting internal party tensions.
