Full exchange: Starmer and Sunak clash over number of high-risk prisoner releases
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.

@@richgilmour5924 so with your logic if a silly practice is done for hundreds of years it should continue? You must still believe in old practices like beating children, owning slaves, looking down on people with colour just because “ they’ve been doing it for hundreds of years”?

"Defence spending". Maybe it's not being backed because that money will be flown straight overseas. I'm not a Labour supporter but I also wouldn't back Rishi on that.
Politicians say a whole lot of nothing. How does a conversation about soft prison sentences lead to let's spend more on war...
"The prime minister treated us to his 7th relaunch in 18 months" 😂
Yet young men are held on hearsay when police dont do their jobs
What about all the extremists in our country all ready do something about them

The civil service should be politically neutral. Colourful lanyards are not just ‘colourful’ they’re a symbol of Stonewall. Stonewall does not write the laws of the UK or UN although they think they do.
