MP backs mum's bid to keep son's killer behind bars

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has backed Newcastle mum Katherine Errington's campaign to stop the man jailed for her son’s death being released early under changes to the Sentencing Act.
Seven-year-old Archie York was killed in 2024 when an illegal drugs lab beneath the family flat exploded, a tragedy that badly damaged multiple homes.
The case — and a petition of thousands — has piled pressure on the government; the prime minister has ordered a review and promised measures to prevent early release for the most serious offenders.
