Rishi Sunak quizzed over cost of Rwanda scheme final grilling of the year - BBC News
"I think that's genuinely an extraordinary question," the PM says, when asked about who's to blame for civilian deaths in Gaza.
That wasn't exactly an end-of-term wind down for the prime minister. Sunak faced 90 minutes of detailed questioning from a committee of big-hitters who didn't seem minded to rush through it and shoot off for Christmas.

Perhaps the most heated exchange was with Alicia Kearns, the chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee.

She repeatedly asked Sunak to go further and condemn Israel's conduct in Gaza but he stuck to the government's position, and accused her of "genuinely extraordinary" questioning for not apportioning more blame to Hamas.

He also received something of a telling off from Dame Meg Hillier - who is tasked with keeping an eye on the government's finances - for not disclosing the total cost of the Rwanda policy in the coming years. The PM said the government is following the rules, and releasing details on an annual basis.

Sunak's stint as Chancellor also came under the microscope - with decisions he made in the Treasury on things like tax and foreign aid budgets coming under renewed scrutiny in the context of the cost-of-living crisis and renewed instability overseas.

But the PM got plenty of chances to put forward his case on how the government is trying to cut carbon emissions, NHS waiting lists and illegal migration.

By the time Sunak faces questions again in the Commons, Christmas will feel like a distant memory - but don't expect any of the issues discussed today to have gone away.
