Starmer tells Sunak to fix "chaos" facing prisons

Opening Prime Minister’s Questions, the Labour leader said Rishi Sunak's focus should be on the "chaos" facing prisons.

Sir Keir Starmer said: After 14 years of Tory government, the prison system is in chaos.

Does the prime minister think that his decision to let prisoners out 70 days early, makes our country more secure?" Mr Sunak insisted that "there are strict eligibility criteria in place" to ensure there is no threat to public safety.
