Watch again: Sunak faces Starmer at PMQs as Lee Anderson Islamophobia row rages on

Watch again as Rishi Sunak faced Sir Keir Starmer in Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday 28 February.
The pair went head-to-head for the first time since Lee Anderson was suspended from the Conservative Party for refusing to apologise over comments made about Sadiq Khan.
Mr Sunak also took questions from MPs for the first time since the House of Commons descended into chaos last week over a vote about a ceasefire in Gaza - leading to more than 80 MPs calling for speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle to resign.

I am not Islamophobic. I am fearful of Islamic fundamentalism and it's hatred of large sections of what we consider normal society with good reason

[@Lovelyday137]

Exactly that

[@MaisieDaisyUpsadaisy]

Nobody said you were Islamophobic for having that belief. The problem is that Anderson called a normal Muslim an Islamist.

[@icarus877]

@@MaisieDaisyUpsadaisy That is not quite what he said, however to qualify the situation you need to correctly understand the differences between the religion and those that follow it.

All of them are a disgrace and completely out of touch. It would appear.

If the answer to every question is Jeremy Corbyn why do we bother with this 🙄

This was fiery PMQs fantastic shame that it's all grandstanding and we didn't once get a discussion of any policy.

I’ll never vote Labour , sunik is right about them

[@Lovelyday137]

Labour have never helped me effectively if I turn to them locally. Never. Starts off great and ends up with no results. No follow up. Just pathetic. I've turned to a Tory Councillor many timed over the past 30 years, she always gets results for us. But I thought, since mum passed away and was tory for 60 years, thought I'd try my local mp who happens to be Labour..... dire

At least PM Sunak is professional. I'm not happy with lots of tory stuff but I'd rather pm sunak than anyone else presently. PM Sunaks not in it for the money, so that's good. Brexit aftermath needs sorting out. War causes recession as well.
