Watch again as Rishi Sunak faced Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, 14 June, amid tensions with Boris Johnson over his resignation honours list.
Last Friday (9 June) Downing Street published the former prime minister's honours list, lacking the names of allies such as Nadine Dorries and Nigel Adams.
The prime minister has accused his predecessor and former boss of wanting him to ignore the recommendations of the House of Lords Appointments Commission (Holac).
Mr Sunak said Mr Johnson asked him "to either overrule the Holac committee, or make promises to people", which he "wasn't prepared to do".
In response, Mr Johnson said Mr Sunak was talking “rubbish."
"To honour these peerages it was not necessary to overrule Holac - but simply to ask them to renew their vetting, which was a mere formality," he added.
PMQs also comes as the prime minister moves closer to two by-elections.
Hours after the row erupted over the honours list, Mr Johnson dramatically announced his resignation as an MP after receiving copy of the Privileges Committee to report on whether he misled parliament over Partygate.
Loyalists Nadine Dorries and Mr Adams also said they were standing down as MPs.
The Conservatives will give notice for the contests in Mr Johnson and Mr Adams' constituencies on Wednesday.
Ms Dorries is reportedly yet to formally resign as an MP and trigger a by-election in her constituency.

Unemployment may be lower than when Labour last left office, but, who wants to be one of 20 lavatory attendants at a London public convenience? There is a clear difference between good jobs and bum jobs!

SUNAK COMING ACROSS AS ABYSMAL MUST BE ONE OF HIS WORST PERFORMANCES. HE DOESN'T RESPOND TO THE QUESTIONS HE JUST COMES OUT WITH THE SAME TIRED PRE-WRITTEN RESPONSES ABOUT LABOUR THIS AND LABOUR THAT.

Sunak, answer a question. Stop deflecting. He does this because he is clueless of how to handle the mess. Should have had an election after the Triss mess.. Tories would have been out.

Sunak is convinced he’s running a business not a country. Everything is centred around the economy and interest rates what about those who are feeling the impact of the interest rises. But no matter he’ll act by attending a cyber crime meeting while drinking a cup of tea!
