Boris Johnson’s Kinder Egg Surprise at Leeds Prison Is Misdirection | Eater London

"Visited by the prime minister as part of a prison‑reform programme that proposes airport‑style security, this Leeds prison became the scene of a staged display of astonishment at inventive smuggling methods — notably a hollowed‑out Kinder Egg and drugs concealed in prisoners’ alimentary systems. Critics say the reaction was performative and politically disingenuous: the reforms are being promoted as creating 10,000 new places while commentators argue about 12,000 would be needed to address overcrowding caused by earlier cuts, so the spectacle risked distracting from substantive criticism of policy and capacity shortfalls." - James Hansen
