"It's important not to take a snapshot of a single day and draw wider assumptions," the PM's official spokesman said."But we do recognise the need to hire more prison staff."We've been reporting today on government plans to ban American XL bully dogs by the end of the year .Asked whether ministers had"dragged their heels" on commencing work to outlaw the breed, the prime minister's official spokesman said:"I wouldn't accept that.
In response, the prime minister said the government's plan is to convene a group of experts to define the breed and then use powers under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 to ban it. Addressing concerns over job losses, Rishi Sunak said:"Obviously, there will still be some people affected, and I know this will be an anxious time for them."The PM said on the whole he was"pleased" that the government and Britain's largest steelworks have been able to reach an agreement, which he said will allow Tata Steel to"continue investing in that plant to transition it to a new type of future green steelmaking".
But criticism has come from steelwork unions, who said the electric arc furnace-only model is simply"the wrong approach for making our steel greener". Mark Drakeford has said it was"disappointing" the Welsh government was not involved in any discussions surrounding the £500m rescue package the Conservative government at Westminster has offered to Britain's largest steelworks.

"They're obviously engaging - not just in the UK but across many countries in the West - a systematic campaign of intellectual property theft and attempting to inveigle themselves into public life. It is of concern, a huge concern, both here and elsewhere," Mr Philp told Times Radio today.
While the government has insisted the deal will safeguard 5,000 jobs across the UK, the company currently employs 8,000 people.TUC general secretary Paul Nowak has urged ministers to"press pause" and urgently talk to unions, as the news comes as a"devastating blow for workers at Port Talbot".
