Keir Starmer’s PMQs question about child homelessness sends a furious Rishi Sunak wildly viral
Rishi Sunak lost control of his temper, and his face, during an exchange with a very calm Keir Starmer during Wednesday’s PMQs.
Watch how Starmer lit the blue touch paper and retired.
Instead of saying I will get the Housing Minister this afternoon to find the family living in a van, and the little homeless boy Liam a home, Rishi Sunak has a screeching hissy fit.
What an utterly heartless bastard.#PMQs pic.twitter.com/G33m3gSXtL

‘Is that really his Christmas message to Liam?’
A photographer caught another angle, which didn’t help Sunak’s case.
