Speaker Lindsay Hoyle accidentally calls Keir Starmer ‘prime minister’

This is the moment Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is mistakenly called “Prime Minister” by the Speaker of the House of Commons.

Lindsay Hoyle made the mistake in a heated Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday (10 January), when Rishi Sunak confirmed new legislation to exonerate wrongly convicted Post Office branch managers,

Addressing MPs, Mr Hoyle said: “I can’t hear the questions. I don’t want any more interruptions, please, it’s a very important topic.”

He then looked over at Sir Keir and said “Mr Prime Minister”, before the Labour leader continued with his speech.
