NHS clash and apology for LGBT military ban dominate PMQs

Rishi Sunak has apologised for the ban on LGBT people serving in the military until 2000, saying it was ‘a stain on the country’, during the last PMQs before the summer recess.

During PMQs the Labour leader, Keir Starmer, said Jeremy Hunt, the chancellor, looked ‘bewildered’ when Sunak said the NHS workforce plan was fully funded. Starmer asked if the money was coming from the ‘Tory magic money tree’.

Sunak said that when the autumn statement was published, it would show the plan was fully funded.
