MINISTERS must halt all privatisation following their crisis intervention at the stricken G4S-run Birmingham prison, Labour said today.

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said outsourcing was now “putting the public in danger,” warning: “Birmingham Prison, Carillion and East Coast Rail have all collapsed because of failed Tory privatisation.

“This has to be a wake-up call and a turning point in how our public services are run so we can protect the public instead of private profit.”
