Rishi Sunak has compared himself to Will Smith over "upsetting" criticism of his wife - but joked he didn't "slap anybody".
The Chancellor complained that his wife Akshata Murthy was not "fair game" following scrutiny over her shares in a company operating in Russia.
He admitted he had not had "the best of weekends" following last week's Spring Statement, which was widely criticised for not doing enough to help Brits hit by the cost of living crisis.
