Watch again: Rishi Sunak faces Keir Starmer in PMQs as Tories divided over Brexit deal

Watch live as Rishi Sunak faces Prime Minister's Questions as the Tory party remains divided over his Northern Ireland Brexit deal.
The Prime Minister has faced backlash with members of his own party as he seeks to satisfy both their demands and those of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).
Mr Sunak faces the threat of potential resignations over the deal.
Irish prime minister (taoiseach) Leo Varadkar has said a "huge amount of progress has been made" on the deal but called for Mr Sunak to be given "some time and space” to consult with his party.
Elsewhere, Wednesday's questions come after nurses paused their strike action to begin “intensive talks” with the government with the intention of finding a settlement in a bitter dispute over pay.
Health secretary Steve Barclay is due to meet with Royal College of Nursing (RCN) representatives to discuss “pay, terms and conditions, and productivity enhancing reforms”.

Compare the heartfelt remark about Nicola Bulley's family from Starmer, then Sunak realises he forgot to mention it and follows up with the most insincere acknowledgement. He doesn't give a toss.

[@Dylanesque]

Sunak can afford not to care. Until his wealth starts to dwindle away he will never care.

[@SiLoMixMaster]

Not a Tory but the way Sunak responded to that last Starmer question was quite amusing by his standards.

[@michaelmouse4024]

Sunak is confused by any question that isn't principally concerned with money. He genuinely doesn't understand why anyone is concerned with non-fiscal issues.

[@zenouxbeauty]

He is not confused. That’s being professional in the House of Commons, Sunak knows how to handle all questions politically

[@bigman459]

Yeah Sunak, we've done really well in Brexit...Not 🤔🤦🏾‍♂️

[@trina415]

Makes me cringe that these ppl think it's ok to decide the future of another country while your own people go without over a million children living under the poverty line old ppl dieing in hospital corridors you'll reap what you sow

How simplistic!! It's very obviously not an 'either/or' situation.

[@bbell1549]

How rude of Sunak to only welcome (to use his words) "a delegation of Ukraine", but not the President of the German Parliament (The Bundestag). This is technically wrong, there was one German politician and one Ukrainian........ That's clearly not an Ukrainian delegation, as you can't have a delegation of one.

so much for kier saying he would not put party first when it came to NI, he's basically trying to undermine UKs negotiating position. if the EU believes the UK under Kier Starmer would give plenty of EU concessions why wouldn't they just decide to delay the agreement till the next election and hope Labour give them everything the EU wants, Kier is practically bending over the barrel already for his EU overlords.

[@kynn884]

You aren't ever putting a border in ireland, thats not because of the EU overlords, this has been common sense since the good friday agreement, and its up to the people of ireland and northern ireland, not a bunch of brexit obsessed englishmen
