sunak: no. as i said, there are various points in their peace proposal that support for ukraine's territorial integrity is indeed welcome. their actions elsewhere and other things they've said undermine their credibility as being a neutral party in this and we have urged with colleagues, other countries, for china not to supply russia with weapons and ask them to use their influence with russia to try to bring an end to this conflict. chair jenkins kpwhr-frpblg thank you, prime minister. we'll move on to the topic of the budget. >> thank you very much, chair. and, prime minister, three of your five priorities this year are economic priorities. halting inflation, growing the economy and reducing debt. one quarter in, how would you see those going? p.m. sunak: well, you know, you would have seen the report from the o.b.r. at the time of the budget and we are on track with all of those. o.b.r. forecasts inflation to be more than half by the end of the year. but of course as we saw most recently, th

sunak's ideas to fruition to the point that we are at now?> the irish government has a vested interest in finding the closest possible relationship between the united kingdom and european union. it is certainly in ireland's interest as the only frontier between the european union and the united kingdom. we are the fault line, as it were. i just wanted to address the part about the unionist position not being paired. the dup held the balance of power in westminster during theresa may's administration, and indeed, theresa may had to humiliating we withdraw from an agreement which she had already entered because the dup said it was not hard enough from their perspective. there's no question the union perspective was an integral part of the negotiating position, but in a way, they have become a victim of their own success in getting the kind of brexit that they campaigned for, and it is kind of a utopian brexit, an ideological one, not one that serves the interests economically for northern ireland indeed. what has been tried to happen with this

pm sunak: mr.peaker, as i said at the time, the issues between gary lineker and the bbc were for them to resolve. >> the sight of them howling with rage over a tweet and signing green-ink letters in their dozens, desperately trying to cancel a football highlights show, should have been laughable. instead, it led to a farcical weekend, with the national broadcaster being accused of dancing to the government's tune by its own employees. rather than blame everyone else, why doesn't the prime minister take some responsibility and stand up to his snowflake mps who are waging war on free speech? [indistinct shouting] pm sunak: mr. speaker, it is just the usual political opportunism from the leader of the labour party. i do not know if he noticed, but first the shadow attorney general and then the shadow home secretary actually criticised the language used in the tweet. but what a surprise: he saw the chance to jump on a political bandwagon and changed his mind.

here is prime minister rishi sunak.me minister sunak: it's an incredibly powerful safeguard that we have been able to negotiate with the eu. it means the people and instituions of northern ireland are in control of their destiny. if there is a significant eu law that comes along that will have lasting and significant impact on the everyday lives of people in ireland, the assembly will be allowed to pull the emergency brake and it is built on the petition of concern mechanism which is a good friday institution that require the support of 30 mla's from two parties. then the u.k. government has an unequivocal veto. the u.k. government wants to sit down with the parties in northern ireland, the assembly, to codify how the u.k. government would use that veto, to make sure everyone has reassurance it would work properly. ben: our u.k. political correspondent says he still has a few more hurdles to get the deal over the line. >> rishi sunak has to sell it to the main prounion party in northern ireland, the democratic unionist

yes, a real test for mr sunak. yes, a realtest for mr sunak.lled the stormont break, the mechanism mr sunak agreed with the eu to give northern ireland a say over eu laws. it is significant that those two former prime ministers have come out against it. borisjohnson and liz truss. and as you are saying, the european research group, who caused such trouble for liz truss, they are also advising conservative mps to oppose this measure. the stormont break is a break with no break_ the stormont break is a break with no break pads. it's incredibly complicated, it isn't a veto, if you look— complicated, it isn't a veto, if you look at _ complicated, it isn't a veto, if you look at the — complicated, it isn't a veto, if you look at the details. it has been sold _ look at the details. it has been sold to — look at the details. it has been sold to us _ look at the details. it has been sold to us as a veto but most plainly — sold to us as a veto but most plainly is _ sold to us as a veto but most plainly is not. and i'm afraid the government have, and i c
