Comment on American bully XL dogs to be banned by end of year - Sunak

Do you think someone from Central Office went out and sneakily set dogs on people to savage them and set the news agenda? Or is it just possible these the spate of attacks and subsequent uproar, with pressure that Something Must Be Done occurred without political machinations?

So, in your opinion, the Prime Minister’s major focus should be head dogcatcher? You think a major speech on dogs, covered live, is not a distraction from things that will actually affect your life?

Will tomorrow’s speech be on a car crash that happened today or a disease that a famous person dies of?

  No.
  
  I think he was under pressure for several days to Do Something in the face of a series of attacks and eventually had to.
  
  If there are a series of statistically unlikely car accidents involving out of control vehicles or a particular type and the government gets heat over it - yes, tomorrows speech might be on that.

    The UK seems like it’s run like a town hall.
    
    Yesterday Biden delivered a speech on the economy:

    Soon he’ll deliver a speech on threats to democracy:

    Nothing about dogs.

    Yeh. But on the other hand he seems to repeatedly have to give statements on mass shootings. It’s odd how different countries have different preoccupations when it comes to unnecessary violent deaths.
