Nah mate, this is is wholly the fault of that shambles enacted by Chris Grayling. I’d hold Labour responsible if I thought it was the case with outsourcing but it wasn’t them. Probation used to be a local authority thing before Grayling led these reforms, selling these contracts to companies who were clearly far from fit for service and the results as I witnessed were an utter ****ing shambles.
Grayling is beyond incompetent, it really is in the instance all his fault.
