0:00On April 28, a 23-year-old guy named Devon Durral from reading just pleaded guilty to trespassing inside the house as a parliament. Last November 30th, around lunchtime, he climbed over a roof and slipped past guards and armed cops into the house of Lord's Mess area, where staff found him chilling on a chair. Turns out, Durral had been flagged for the government's Prevent Anti-Terror Program before. Court docs say he was in a psychotic episode, probably from drugs, acting all threatening with clenched fists and mumbling threats. He had no comment to police and some past drug busts, plus he was on bail for a family dispute. This breach stayed hush-hush. No alerts to MPs or staff, even after millions spent on a fancy new fence and a 10 million pound door that barely works. Insiders call it a total embarrassment, especially since he got deep into the side before a workman spotted him. He's out on conditional bail now, with sentencing set for June after reports get reviewed. All options on the table, from fines to worse.

1:02Parliament reviewed security right after and beefed it up, but this fits a pattern of slips, like phone pranks in the commons and climbers on big. It's been showing the estates still got holes.
