Father of killed Nottingham student in the hall as Badenoch speakspublished at 12:38 BST<\/p>\n

Moving on to crime and policing, Badenoch mentions the death of 18-year-old Henry Nowak as well as those of teenagers Barnaby Webber and Grace O\u2019Malley-Kumar.<\/p>\n

She points out that O\u2019Malley-Kumar’s father is sitting in the audience, to applause.<\/p>\n

“There has to be proper accountability for those who are
\nresponsible. We have to do better”, Badenoch says.<\/p>\n

She goes on to criticise the government’s early prisoner release scheme, saying that “criminals need to face the full force of the law”.<\/p>\n

If they win the next election, Badenoch adds, the Conservatives will build 50,000 more prison places and introduce tougher minimum sentences for the “worst crimes”.<\/p>\n

For context: The government’s early prison release plan had initially included those convicted of manslaughter, though that was ruled out after public outcry. Valdo Calocane, who carried killed O’Malley-Kumar, Webber, and Ian Coates in Nottingham in 2023, was convicted of manslaughter.<\/p>\n
