Sunak Challenges Starmer on China Policy in Penultimate PMQs
Rishi Sunak presses Keir Starmer on foreign policy issues, highlighting tensions over China as his leadership term nears its end.
- Rishi Sunak focused on foreign policy, questioning Keir Starmer about China's military exercises near Taiwan and the detention of UK citizen Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong.
- Sunak criticized the halt of the foreign agents registration scheme, a move Starmer claimed was inaccurately described by Sunak.
- Keir Starmer reiterated the need for unity on China-related issues but faced criticism for his repetitive responses about past Tory failures.
- Starmer mistakenly referred to Sunak as 'Prime Minister,' a slip that has occurred multiple times since the recent election.
- Sunak avoided domestic issues like pre-budget tax speculation, opting instead to emphasize national security and freedom of speech concerns.
