Rishi Sunak will be grilled by a committee of senior MPs on the juddering economy, his planned crackdown on small boats and post-Brexit deal for Northern Ireland.

The prime minister faces a 90-minute cross-examination by the Commons liaison committee on Tuesday afternoon, the only group which gets to question the PM.

Caroline Nokes – the senior Tory MP who has likened Mr Sunak’s “horrendous” asylum plans to Donald Trump’s “caging of children” – will quiz him on small boats.
