Conservative MP Jonathan Lord raises the Post Office Horizon scandal again, and the case of his constituent Seema Misra who is in the gallery today.

She was wrongly convicted of stealing £75,000 in 2010 and sentenced to prison on her son's birthday, whilst pregnant with her second child, he says.

He asks if the PM agrees she is due a full apology and compensation as a matter of urgency.

Sunak begins by saying the scandal is "one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in our nation's history".

He says legislation will be introduced within weeks to clear the names of people who were convicted on erroneous evidence and ensure swifter access to compensation.

"We have a clear moral duty to right these wrongs, and that is what we will do," he says.

Labour MP Liz Twist attacks Rishi Sunak about rising child poverty in the UK, asking where addressing the problem fits into the PM's plan.

Sunak defends his government's plan, asserting that it is working and that poverty is falling in the country. He asserts that there 1.7 million fewer people in poverty since 2010.

"Of course there's more to do" to address child poverty, he says, but it won't be helped by Labour's "£28bn tax grab on their parents which would take money out of their families' bank accounts".

Now, SDLP leader Colum Eastwood asks Sunak if he will vote for a ceasefire in Gaza at the United Nations at the next opportunity.

Sunak says he wants an immediate pause, but a ceasefire needs to "fulfil a set of conditions".

Conservative MP Tom Hunt is up next asking about access to NHS dentistry. He says it is a "source of frustration" to his constituents that people who train to become dentists can "immediately go private or go abroad" after they are qualified.

Hunt suggests dentists are made to work for five years in the NHS so they can "make a huge contribution to this problem".

Sunak replies: "It's right and fair that we seek better value for the significant investment that the taxpayer makes in the education and training of the dental workforce."

Therefore, he says, the government is exploring whether a "tie-in" would ensure dentists spend a better proportion of their time in the NHS. There will be a consultation on this policy later in the year, he adds.

A taste of the attacks we'll see this election yearpublished at 12:32 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

Some Conservatives may be trying to force a change of leader, but at today’s PMQs we got a taste of the political cut and thrust we will see until the election assuming Rishi Sunak remains in place.

Sir Keir Starmer darted around different issues, using each of them as an opportunity to land personal attacks on Sunak.

He targeted Sunak's wealth and background (repeating a charge from earlier this month that the prime minister "doesn’t understand" Britain); his career (claiming that during the financial crash Sunak was "making millions betting on the misery of working people"); and Tory splits (claiming Sunak is being "bullied" by his own party).

In turn the PM went after Labour’s green policies (saying that the £28 billion green investment pledge would mean tax rises); Starmer’s legal career (pointing out for the second week in a row that he did legal work for Hizb-ut Tahrir, which the government proscribed last week); and his changing positions over the years (labelling Starmer "the human weathervane").

It may seem like tedious political mud-slinging, or you may think these are the crucial questions of character which prime ministers and potential prime ministers must answer.

Either way, get used to it.

Sunak says no one wants to see this conflict go on a moment longer than necessary.

He says the UK wants to see a humanitarian pause to get hostages out and aid into Gaza to create the conditions for a sustainable ceasefire.

Next Flynn brings up the Post Office Horizon scandal, saying Parliament has acted with urgency and intent following the recent ITV drama.

Flynn asks if the Commons will show the same "urgency and intent" following the news report about the shooting of the unarmed Palestinian man and back a ceasefire in Gaza.

Sunak says his government has been "absolutely consistent" that international law must be upheld and that civilians should be protected.

He says that he has made that point to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and says that the UK foreign secretary is making the same point during his visit to the region this week.

Next up is the SNP's Westminster leader Stephen Flynn.

He mentions footage of an unarmed Palestinian man in Gaza holding up a white flag being shot and killed by the IDF.

"Prime minister, such an act constitutes a war crime, does it not?"

Sunak hits back and says Starmer has no ideas for the country.

He says the Labour leader doesn't want to talk about the economy because things are improving with wages rising and inflation going down.

"Our plan is working," he says while Labour's "£28bn tax grab will take Britain back to square one".

Starmer brings up childcare and steel workers again, saying that making steel workers redundant (read more about Tata's plans here) and failing to provide childcare "is not a plan prime minister, it is a farce".

He says families are struggling with the cost of living crisis and are then thrown into chaos because their free childcare is taken away.

He brings up a Tory MP briefing the Times in robust language and asks when Sunak will realise the biggest issue facing Britain is the "farcical incompetence" of his government?

Sunak defends his childcare scheme, saying his government is delivering the biggest expansion of childcare in the country's history.

He says Starmer likes to talk about ideas, but does not know how to pay for them.

He says Starmer should "come clean" with the families benefitting from childcare and tell them that his plans mean it would be "back to square one, and higher taxes for British people".

Starmer says the Tories crashed the economy and says Sunak has introduced 25 tax rises since the last election - but has nothing to say about families losing childcare.

"Only on Monday did he notice there were some, in his words, practical issues," Starmer says.

The PM says it's "all fine", the Labour leader adds, but asks is this really a "practical issue or just another example of him not understanding the loves of other people?"

Sunak accuses the Labour leader of not having many ideas for governing the country.

He says the one idea Starmer does have is his 2030 decarbonisation promise, which one of his team has called "an albatross hanging round our necks".

How are they going to pay for the plan, Sunak asks. "Higher taxes."

Starmer says Sunak can try and blame the Labour party all he wants but says "the difference is I have changed my party, he is bullied by his party".

He goes on to ask about childcare, questioning why thousands of parents are being told by nurseries they will not get the free childcare he promised them.

This follows reports suggesting plans to provide 15 hours per week free childcare to some working parents from April are at risk due to technical glitches and delays.

Sunak labels Starmer's question as "yet more sniping from the sidelines".

He says that even the Labour party is realising that he doesn't have a plan for the country.

Labour MPs are attacking Starmer's leadership, asserts Sunak, and makes a joke about Steve Coogan.

Sunak adds that even the Labour party knows Starmer is a "human weather vane."

For his next gambit, Starmer says in 2008 he was putting people in jail as director of public prosecutions, while Sunak was "making millions betting on the misery of working people during the financial crisis".

Starmer continues by saying the country is being forced to endure Tory "division and chaos", calling it the "longest episode of Eastenders ever put to film".

Laughter rumbles through the Commons.

Following the major jobs cuts by Tata Steel, Starmer says this week we discovered the UK won't make his own steel.

"Isn't he embarrassed?"

Sunak responds by saying the Labour leader chose to represent a now proscribed terrorist group, chose to campaign against the deportation of foreign nationals and chose to work under Jeremy Corbyn.

"That is his record and his values and that is how he should be judged," he says.

Starmer goes on to say Sunak "spouts so much nonsense no wonder they are giving up on him", referencing reports of Tory infighting this week.

He says the PM is sticking to his "one-man Pollyanna show", saying that "everything is fine".

But the trouble is no one is buying it, the Labour leader says.

"Does he understand why his own MPs say he doesn't understand Britain and he is an obstacle to recovery?"

Rishi Sunak hits back at Starmer, saying the opposition leader talks about what Britain needs and values, but has previously "wanted to abolish the monarchy" and "doesn't know what a woman is."

"Looking at his record, it is crystal clear which one of us doesn't get British values," he says, to cheers around the House.
