Morgan bet took Sunak by surprise

The Prime Minister has been criticised over the "depraved" wager with broadcaster Piers Morgan.

Mr Sunak denied the wager was a mistake but admitted he had been caught off guard when Morgan shook hands with him on the bet.

The TalkTV presenter offered the Prime Minister a £1,000 charity bet that ministers would not be able to send asylum seekers to Rwanda by the time of the election.

The Prime Minister faced questions about making the bet on a whim on such a controversial subject at a time when many households are struggling to make ends meet.
