PMQs live: new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faces Sir Keir Starmer for first time - who won?

New Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has faced Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer for the first time in PMQs.

Starmer quizzed him on reappointing Suella Braverman, his wife’s tax history and whether he would call a general election. The new PM refused to answer whether No10 officials raised concerns around the Home Secretary’s recall, just days after she resigned for breaching the ministerial code. In a question from SNP leader Ian Blackford, Sunak also would not commit to raising benefits in line with inflation.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s planned Halloween budget to get the public finances back on track has been delayed until next month, Downing Street has said. The medium term fiscal plan will now be published on 17 November as an autumn statement – alongside a new set of economic forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility.
