Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer engaged in a fiery exchange at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, centering on allegations of abusive behaviour in government. The clash came a day after Sir Gavin Williamson resigned from his role as a government whip, vowing to clear his name amid probes into his past conduct.
Starmer pressed Sunak on the bullying allegations, accusing the Prime Minister of failing to uphold standards in his administration. Sunak defended his record, hitting back at Starmer for what he described as a lack of courage in outlining Labour's policies to the public.
The confrontation highlighted ongoing tensions between the two leaders as the general election campaign heats up. Williamson, who has denied any wrongdoing, stepped down on Tuesday night, stating his intention to cooperate fully with investigations into his behaviour.
Both leaders used the session to trade barbs over their respective party's records and future plans, with Sunak accusing Starmer of avoiding scrutiny on Labour's proposals. Starmer countered by questioning the Prime Minister's judgment in appointing Williamson to a senior role.
