Watch: The moment Rishi forgets he’s the PM during PMQS

Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer traded blows on the climate, security and education during a fiery PMQs today.

The Labour leader tore into Rishi Sunak as he called him “too weak” to sack the “security threat sitting around the Cabinet table” in a thinly veiled reference to Suella Braverman.

He then accused the PM of flirting with climate change deniers, saying that was the reason for the last-minute decision to attend Cop27 in Egypt.

“In the budget next week he will be too weak to end his oil and gas giveaway, scrap the non-dom tax breaks and end the farce of taxpayers subsidising private schools”, Starmer said.

“That’s what Labour would do, a proper plan for working people.”

At one point, Rishi was so rattled that he forgot he was prime minister.
