- Robert Jenrick warned that prison officers risk death if the government does not address recent violent attacks across UK prisons.
- The warning follows attacks by inmates Axel Rudakubana and Hashem Abedi, with violence escalating sharply within the past month.

- Jenrick called for immediate issuance of stab vests to prison officers and expressed strong disregard for Rudakubana receiving any hot drinks, underscoring the dangerous conditions faced by staff.
