Interesting commentary from Sky News's Sam Coates who revealed that today was being lined up by the Conservatives to challenge Labour on their green prosperity plan.
Quote:
"They thought internally it was going to be a really big day, a reset day that pivoted the whole conversation back in their favour," he says.
"The big problem for Rishi Sunak today is that he personally messed it up with what happened at PMQs."
Sam goes on to say the PM is telling people in Downing Street that he "just didn't hear Keir Starmer mention that Brianna's mother was in the gallery".
He says there was a discussion about whether an apology was needed, but then Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch intervened to attack Sir Keir, which "completely took away any freedom for Number 10".
"Effectively, you had the spectre of the prime minister being bullied by one of his cabinet members and having his options cut off," he says.
"That is an extraordinary position for a prime minister to be in."
