Rishi Sunak this evening claimed that the furore over his wife's tax status made him MORE suitable to be Prime Minister - as he had learned from it.
In a lively and often tense interview with veteran broadcaster Andrew Neil, he was accused of being "all over the place" on tax and challenged over growing NHS waiting lists.
Mr Sunak's rival Liz Truss declined an invite to be grilled by Mr Neil, but he closed the show pointedly stating: "That invitation is still open."
