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.
