Wes Streeting called Jeremy Corbyn “senile” during a Commons row over Rishi Sunak’s continued attacks on the former party leader.

The Labour frontbencher was caught on a hot mic saying "he's gone senile", as Mr Corbyn’s effort to complain was rejected by Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle.

The shadow health secretary later apologised, saying the comment was made “in jest, but I accept in poor taste”.

Mr Streeting added: “I’ve dropped Jeremy a note directly to apologise for any offence caused.”
