MPs laugh at Raab’s PM defence

In a question to deputy prime minister Dominic Raab, Chris Bryant asked whether the prime minister’s position on former minister Chris Pincher had changed.

Bryant referred to comments Raab made while being interviewed on TV and radio earlier in the day, that claims the PM was “personally informed” of Pincher’s alleged misconduct before appointing him as minister were “untrue”.

Raab told the House of Commons “that’s not what I said”, a response greeted by laughs and jeers.
