Sir Keir Starmer left Rishi Sunak reeling after he hit him with a question on NHS waiting lists ahead of Jeremy Hunt’s autumn statement.

He said the autumn statement contains “110 different measures to help grow the British economy” in a bid to boost Tory election hopes, which have been left floundering in recent weeks.

This one clearly caught him off guard:
