UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in hot soup

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is being investigated by Parliament’s standards watchdog over a possible failure to declare an interest.

Mr Sunak is being investigated over whether a declaration of interest was “open and frank”, under rules set out by the commissioner for standards.

The BBC understands the probe relates to a childcare firm his wife has shares in.

The commissioner decides whether an MP has broken rules after an inquiry.
