Introduction

The prime minister has given his evidence to the COVID inquiry today, defending his Eat Out to Help Out scheme and telling of fears within the Treasury that the UK would not be able to fund the pandemic response.

While at the inquiry, some of Rishi Sunak’s Tory colleagues have called on the PM to scrap his Rwanda bill, as it goes to the Commons tomorrow.

On the Sky News Daily, Jonathan Samuels hosts our political editor Beth Rigby, who discusses the difficulties Sunak faces within his party over Rwanda. Plus, our political correspondent Tamara Cohen reports on the PM’s accounts at the COVID inquiry.
