  • Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak clashed at PMQs over the number of high-risk prisoners who have been released on the government's watch.
    The Labour leader accused the prime minister of focusing on small issues like the proposed ban on LGBT+ rainbow lanyards in the civil service.
    The prime minister defended his record on keeping the country safe, citing the government's plans to increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP.
