What happens at PMQs?

Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) is a weekly session in the House of Commons where MPs can challenge the Prime Minister on government policy and actions. It's a high-profile opportunity for opposition parties to scrutinise the government and for backbenchers to raise local or national issues, as Kemi Badenoch did here.
