Johnson and Starmer clash over Hancock

Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer clashed on the sequence of events leading to former Health Secretary Matt Hancock's resignation at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday.

Starmer also referred to the situation of a young boy who died of leukaemia whose family were unable to visit him.
