PMQs: Sunak and Starmer clash over migrant law at PMQs - BBC

Another issue that could come up at PMQs is the publication of messages sent between former Health Secretary Matt Hancock and other ministers and officials at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The latest of these, published by the Daily Telegraph, suggest Matt Hancock supported threatening to block a disability centre in a Tory MP's constituency in a bid to get him to vote for the Covid tier system in England.

WhatsApp messages show Mr Hancock agreed to put pressure on James Daly, Conservative MP for Bury North, if he failed to vote with the government.

Hancock's spokesperson said: "What's being accused here never happened, demonstrating the story is wrong, and showing why such a biased, partial approach to the evidence is a bad mistake, driven by those with a vested interest and an axe to grind."

The messages, which the BBC has not independently verified or seen in their full context, were handed to The Telegraph by journalist Isabel Oakeshott.

Oakeshott, a longstanding critic of lockdowns, was given them while helping Mr Hancock write his book, Pandemic Diaries.
