Sir Keir Starmer was repeatedly pressed by Kemi Badenoch over the Lord Mandelson scandal at PMQs today.

The Tory leader opened by saying: "The Prime Minister tried to avoid scrutiny on the Mandelson files by releasing the documents immediately after Prime Minister's Questions last week.

During the clash, the PM was rebuked by Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle for failing to answer questions.
