PMQs LIVE: Angela Rayner to stand in for Keir Starmer in fiery Commons clash
Angela Rayner will stand in for Sir Keir Starmer at Prime Minister's Questions today. The Deputy Prime Minister will face her Tory counterpart in the Commons for the weekly grilling session as the Prime Minister travels back from the G7 summit.
Ms Rayner could be questioned on the grooming gangs scandal after Sir Keir announced a national inquiry in a U-turn. The Prime Minister confirmed the probe after months of resistance following the release of a report by Baroness Louise Casey.
The Deputy PM could also be asked about small boats after Downing Street admitted the Channel crisis is getting worse. More than 16,300 people have crossed in small boats so far in 2025, a 43% increase on the same period in 2024.
