Live: Rishi Sunak faces Keir Starmer over Partygate and inflation at PMQs

Watch live as Rishi Sunak faces Sir Keir Starmer in Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday 21 June.

The pair are likely to clash over the recent Partygate vote, with Boris Johnson's shadow still looming large over the House of Commons.

On Monday, MPs voted to back a report that found the former prime minister deliberately misled the House over lockdown parties at Downing Street.

The Commons voted overwhelmingly in support of the report, which found Mr Johnson committed repeated offences when he said Covid rules had been followed in No 10 at all times.

Mr Sunak did not turn up to the vote, and he could be quizzed on why by Sir Keir.

The Labour leader will also likely focus his attention on the economy and ongoing cost of living crisis, on the day it was announced that UK inflation stays at 8.7 per cent, despite hopes of a fall.
