Sunak says Starmer should show some leadership and insist on reading the legal advice Rayner says he has had clearing her conduct over the sale of her home. He goes on:
It says a lot about his priorities, when it comes to his legal expertise, he’s more than happy to help Hizb ut-Tahrir but refuses to help his own deputy leader.
Stephen Flynn, the SNP leader at Westminster, asks if Sunak agrees with Gordon Brown, who said in an FT interview this week that forces tearing the country apart were stronger than those holding it together.
Sunak says he agrees with Brown about Scottish independence being a bad idea.
Flynn asks if Sunak welcomes the support from Labour in refusing Scotland a say on its future.
Sunak says the SNP should stop trying to lock up JK Rowling and and focus on doing what the Scottish people want.
Starmer asks how the Tories would fund their £46bn plan to get rid of national insurance.
Sunak says when he was running for leader, he said he disagreed with Liz Truss. But Starmer tried to make Jeremy Corbyn PM despite Corbyn’s lack of support for Nato, and the antisemitism in the party.
Keir Starmer also welcomes the post office operators. And he says it is 35 years since the Hillsborough disaster. There must be a Hillsborough law, he says.
He says he has a copy of Liz Truss’s book. “It’s a rare unsigned copy.” She claims her kamikaze budget was “the happiest moment” of her premiership. Has Sunak met anyone with a mortgage who agrees?
Sunak says Starmer should spend less time reading that book, and more time reading Angela Rayner’s tax advice.
Rishi Sunak starts by saying there are post office operators in the gallery watching. It has been one of the country’s biggest legal scandals, he says.
