Watch: Sunak faces PMQs as Braverman says Sudan small boat refugees face deportation

Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer went head to head in Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday 26 April.

Their clash came amid a tense situation in Sudan, which could be a key issue the Labour leader chooses to push in the House of Commons.

Hundreds of Britons have been evacuated from Sudan as the military races against time to bring people to safety before a ceasefire ends.

Flights began landing in Cyprus on Tuesday evening and continued through the night, with more planned.

Suella Braverman, the home secretary, said earlier on Wednesday that approximately 200 to 300 British nationals have been relocated in recent days.

“We’ve commenced an evacuation mission in the last 24 to 48 hours, and we expect there to be approximately 200 to 300 people who have been relocated from Sudan in the last few flights,” she said.

Ms Braverman added the operation is being coordinated by the foreign office “with leadership from the prime minister”.
