Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has tested positive for Covid for a second time, and is now isolating.

His deputy, Angela Rayner, will fill in for him at the first 2022 session of Prime Minister's Questions, which starts at 15:00 GMT.

Sir Keir also tested positive for Covid last October and had to miss the Budget as a result.

And he has previously had to self-isolate after coming into contact with others diagnosed with the virus.
