The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

Most terror suspects in the UK are incarcerated in Belmarsh jail, which has never had any prison escapes. There was a significant criminal justice oversight that allowed Khalife to be assigned a reduced security risk rating and put in a Category B prison.

Pro-establishment narrative

While the search for Khalife is urgent, he is believed to be low-risk, and there's no evidence that he poses a threat to the greater public. UK authorities are working their hardest to find and re-apprehend him using formidable police resources.
