PMQs: Oliver Dowden and Angela Rayner clash over latter's council house row

Rishi Sunak is in Berlin for talks with the German chancellor which means today’s edition of Prime Minister’s Questions will feature the deputies.
Oliver Dowden, the Deputy Prime Minister, will stand in for Mr Sunak while Angela Rayner, the Labour deputy leader, will be asking the questions instead of Sir Keir Starmer.
Ms Rayner’s prominent role at noon comes as she continues to face scrutiny over the sale of her council house a decade ago.

She wouldn't sparkle in a sixth-form debating society. What a nightmare to think that she may be Deputy Prime Minister.

Did anyone catch the speaker calling Malaysia "Malaya"? Malaysia became independent from the UK in August 1957 when the speaker was TWO MONTHS OLD. Out of touch or out of time?

Sorry, I'm not British but I'm worried about the future of the UK.. I don't understand Labour, Angela R reads a letter of a lady who is threatend with eviction from her house.. So why allow thousands and thousands of migrants legal & illegals into your country and let them stay in hotels.!? Who pays for all this..!?

Has nothing to do with housing.

@@johnnypatterson7512 So why is the lady threatend with eviction? Unless I didn't understand Rayner properly, she has a thick accent which I'm not used to hear.
