That's it, we're wrapping up our coverage of PMQs - thanks for following along with us.

It was another rowdy affair, with the Speaker Lindsay Hoyle intervening several times, as we've mentioned.

We may be finishing this page, but it's a busy news day - and you can follow our live coverage on other stories:

Another rowdy PMQ has come to an end in the House of Commons.

It started with the Speaker of the House, Lindsay Hoyle, warning both parties to practice self-restraint in their choice of words. During the debate, Hoyle also repeatedly asked both sides to calm down as jeers rose from the backbenches during key exchanges.

• Starmer focused his questions on the cost of living and rising mortgage costs
• He began by bringing up Tory MP George Freeman who said he quit his job as a minister because he couldn't afford his rising mortgage bill. Starmer asked whether - after 14 years of Tory government - this was what they mean "by saying we're all in this together?"
• Sunak responded by repeatedly attacking Labour's plan to borrow to invest in green projects and saying that the government's tax cuts would help people deal with the cost of living
• The PM also said Labour couldn't be trusted, taking a swipe at the party after an apparent change of stance on banker's bonuses (the shadow chancellor now says she has no plans to cap them)
• The Scottish National Party's Stephen Flynn jumped on the bankers' bonuses theme, attacking Labour's new stance as "shameful"
• Flynn didn't spare Tories, asking the PM whether he was "comforted" that he was now "no longer alone in this House in being completely out of touch" with public opinion

Paying £10 and getting £2 backpublished at 13:36 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January

The cost of living featured prominently in Starmer's questions for Sunak earlier.

Starmer said to the prime minister: “For every £2 he says he's giving people back, he's taking £10 out of their back pocket in higher tax."

These figures also appear on a Labour poster, unveiled as the government introduced a cut in National Insurance (NI) this month.

The claim is based on forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), external.

But those forecasts are for 2028-29, so it is misleading to apply them to the present day.

What the OBR said was that the amount of extra money that the government would raise in 2028-29 from its previous tax measures would be the equivalent of about an extra 10p in the pound on the main rate of NI.

And Sir Keir was contrasting that with the 2p in the pound cut in NI.

At the top of PMQs, Sunak thanked the DUP for taking "significant steps" in talks to restore power-sharing in Northern Ireland.

He praised the DUP for moving forward and the patience the other parties in Northern Ireland have shown.

Starmer says this is "important moment" and now all sides are needed to get Stormont working again.

The details of the deal between the DUP and the government have now been published. Our colleagues are going through it and bringing you all the details, analysis and reaction in this live page.

Marsha De Cordova, the Labour MP for Battersea, brings up polling that suggests nearly half of employers exclude blind and partially sighted people. She asks if the prime minister will meet with her to discuss how a more inclusive workforce can be created.

Sunak responds by saying he shares the ambition for a more inclusive workforce, and says it is something the work and pensions secretary is looking closely looking at, including ensuring the accessibility plan is up to date.

Former housing secretary Robert Jenrick says house building is weakening and the government need to do more

He calls on the PM to refresh plans to cut stamp duty, first introduced by Sunak when he was chancellor to keep the housing market alive during lockdown.

Sunak says tax matters are for the chancellor, but stamp duty relief means the "vast majority of first-time buyers" already pay no stamp duty.

We'll now return to the questions from MPs for the prime minister earlier.

Labour MP Dawn Butler said that on 6 January the prime minister tweeted a link to the Conservative Party website which "seemed to scrape people's data and place unwanted cookies on their machines". She says the Good Law Project is now pursuing this.

"Can the PM assure the house that no laws have been broken by his party?", she asks

"Of course our party follows all laws", the PM replies with a chuckle.

Stepping away from the action in the Commons for a moment, the details of the deal between the Democratic Unionist Party and the government have now been published - it can be read in full here, external.

Our colleagues are going through it and bringing you all the details, analysis and reaction in this live page.

Starmer's claims on fixed-rate mortages are higher than figures suggestpublished at 12:57 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January

12:57 GMT 31 January

As you saw in our previous post, mortgage costs were a big topic in this week's PMQs.

In one exchange, Sir Keir Starmer said: "There are 200,000 people… coming off fixed-rate mortgages and paying more each and every month.”

Figures from UK Finance, which is the trade body for the banking and finance industry, suggest that’s a bit high.

Its mortgage data says, external that around 1.6 million fixed-rate deals are due to end in 2024, which is about 133,000 a month.

The Office for National Statistics said this time last year, external that most fixed-rate mortgage deals coming to an end in the next 12 months were set at interest rates below 2%.

The financial information service Moneyfacts says the average 2-year and 5-year fixed residential mortgage rates are both above 5%.

Earlier, Starmer asked Sunak about Tory MP George Freeman who left his ministerial job as he could not afford his mortgage.

Starmer joked that "nobody could be failed to be moved" by the plight of the Norfolk MP.

Sunak responded by saying that millions of mortgage holders were benefitting from the mortgage charter the chancellor introduced last year. He said there was practical support in place to help people save money on their mortgage.

Jo Gideon, Conservative MP for Stoke-on-Trent-Central, has asked whether the PM agrees that in light of the recent Post Office scandal, new community banking solutions should be developed rather than giving the Post Office sole responsibility for providing access to cash and other banking services in some areas.

Sunak says we shouldn't conflate this scandal with the actions of many hard-working local postmasters and says the new Financial Services and Markets Act protects the access to cash.

Tory MP Selaine Saxby says the number one reason for children’s hospital admissions in her North Devon constituency is dental treatment - a point repeatedly raise by Labour recently.

There are not enough dentists, even with large “golden hello” pay offers, she complains.

Sunak says the government is investing £3bn a year and has reformed contracts for dentist to offer “more renumeration”. But “more needs to be done” and that is why a Dentist Development Plan will be published shortly.

Let's bring you some more of the debate at PMQs now. Lib Dem leader Ed Davey has asked the prime minister about the NHS and the care system.

He says one of his constituents, Millie, a wheelchair user, had a serious accident at a sporting event and was left waiting in pain for "over two hours" before an ambulance arrived.

During her months in hospital since, he says she has been dropped "badly, multiple times", left "stuck in her bed for days" and has been told to "soil" herself when there's no one to take her to a toilet.

Davey asks whether the PM will look again at Lib Dem proposals to make sure patients get high quality care.

Sunak says he is investing record sums in the NHS, making sure there are record numbers of doctors and nurses, and claims ambulance times are lower than they were this time last year.

Three main themes from PMQspublished at 12:43 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January

Chief political correspondent

The last Prime Minister’s Questions of January was a continuation of several themes we’ve seen at this year’s Wednesday political knockabouts so far.

First, wealth.

Sir Keir Starmer has used multiple recent PMQs to accuse the prime minister of “not understanding” Britain. Today he repeatedly argued that Rishi Sunak does not understand the scale of mortgage increases people coming off fixed rates are facing.

At one point he said that a mortgage rise “might not sound much” to Sunak, but that “most people don’t have that sort of money”.

Plenty of people would say this is a fairly unsubtle attempt to draw attention to Sunak’s wealth. Sunak made clear that he thinks so, accusing the Labour leader of resorting to “the politics of envy”.

Second, Labour’s green plans.

The Conservatives spy a major political opportunity in drawing attention to Labour’s pledge to borrow to invest £28 billion a year on green policies, arguing that it would have to be funded by higher taxes.

There are disagreements within Labour about whether to scale back or impose new conditions on the plan - while they decide what to do. Sunak took pleasure in highlighting the issue repeatedly.

Third, the SNP’s attempts to suppress Labour’s surge in Scotland.

Stephen Flynn, the party’s Westminster leader, used his two questions to argue that Labour are no different to the Conservatives.

That has always been a plank of the party’s arguments but it is clear this has taken on a new prominence for the party as Labour’s support appears to have rebounded in Scotland.

PMQs has now finished but we will continue to bring you some of the main exchanges from MPs in the Commons right here.

Meanwhile, we're expecting more details this afternoon on the plan for Northern Ireland from Secretary of State Chris Heaton-Harris.

Follow live updates on that story here.

The SNP's Stephen Flynn goes on to ask why bankers can have unlimited bonuses as a result of Brexit, but everyone else has to "suck up costs" because of Brexit red tape.

He asks whether the great achievement of the Tory government is to having convinced the Labour party "to agree to that bleak future".

Sunak says they are delivering benefits for people in Scotland, among others with new trade deals for Scottish exporters and freeports.

He also says that what Flynn could do to help is making sure Scotland is not the highest taxed part of the UK. He says it's not just high earners, and that everyone earning more than £28,000 a year is "paying more tax in Scotland than they would in England thanks to the SNP".

SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn has brought up Labour's stance on bankers' bonuses. Labour had "rightly opposed" scrapping the cap on bonuses last autumn, he says, calling shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves's recent announcement, that this would no longer be the case, "shameful".

"Is the prime minister comforted by the fact that he's now no longer alone in this house on being completely out of touch with public opinion?" he asks.

Sunak responds that he supported the decision at the time because it was the "right thing" for financial stability, and that his government sticks to their convictions - unlike Labour's "flip flopping and U-turning".

Earlier, just before this week's PMQs began, the Speaker of the House of Commons told off MPs on both sides for recent "unhelpful exchanges" - watch the moment here.

Sunak’s final response to Starmer ties together most of his talking points today, reeling off a list of new government policies.

Sunak says allowing pharmacies to prescribe drugs for minor illnesses is “freeing up millions of GP appointments”, while National Insurance cuts are giving “hard working people” hundreds of pounds in their pay packets this month.

All Starmer is offering is “£28bn of tax” – the choice for voters is “a brighter future with us or back to square one with them”.

"I actually didn't expect him to be laughing at Phil," Starmer replies.

The Speaker intervenes yet again over the Commons which becomes rowdy in response.

The PM doesn't get how "hard it is" for people like Iceland supermarket worker Phil, Starmer says, adding that it is Sunak's response to never take responsibility, show contrition or "any level of basic understanding".

He returns to the MP for mid-Norfolk who he says is "exhausted" - why doesn't the PM call an election so "him and the whole country can move on"? he asks.
