Speaker Lindsay Hoyle steps in to rebuke Rishi Sunak during tense Prime Minister's Questions

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was told off by the Speaker of the House of Commons during a tense session of Prime Minister's Questions.

Mr Sunak was going up against Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer at the dispatch box, with his party firmly behind in the polls. The two party leaders clashed over the state of the economy, home ownership and other challenges facing the future of the country.

It was a testy session and at one point the Speaker of the House Lindsay Hoyle had to step in to tell the Prime Minister off. Mr Hoyle suggested that the Prime Minister had spoken to him about keeping his answers to questions short and accused him of breaking his word during today's session. He also rebuked Mr Sunak for not sitting down as the Speaker stood up, as is the rule in the House of Commons.
