The full exchange: Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer clash over financial crisis

Now we come to the leader of the opposition. Mr Speaker, may I join the Prime Minister in paying tribute to the brave British personnel involved in the Sudan evacuation effort? The Government must do everything in its power to urgently evacuate UK citizens still trapped in Sudan. The President, George Osborne, said yesterday that the Conservative Party's handling of the economy makes them vandals. He's right, isn't he? Well, Mr Speaker, while we are in the business of quoting former chancellors and shadow chancellors, I don't know if Yesterday I saw the comments of a former Labor shadow chancellor who said that our country had faced four shock threats occurring one once in a century to our economy and the fact that we have overcome that is a triumph, Mr.

President, well, the former Chancellor not only said that there was a group of conservative hooligans, he also said that there was a self-induced

financial

crisis

in the country, those vandals and they like to pretend it was all just one week of madness last fall, but the truth is it's been 13 years of failure in real wages. the money in people's pockets has been reduced by £1,600 per household sixteen hundred pounds the Prime Minister's response to imposing 24 Tory tax rises in three years 24. How on earth do you think your low-growth, high-tax economy is doing? working for workers? Nico, because of the ocean we have taken on, the national living wage at record levels in the Universal Credit pension and the generous cost of living payments yesterday, Mr President, almost eight million households are directly supported by this cost, this Conservative government who are supporting the workers, but just this week, Mr.

Speaker, at The Other Place we saw your party taking the side of the protesters and the picketers, you should actually try to support the workers. Yes, Mom, you lost sixteen hundred pounds worse, Mr. President. I'm genuinely fascinated by Do you really think everything is fine or are you just clueless about life outside your bubble, Mr. President? Because of the actions we have taken, let's review it. A single mother. A single mother working

time in the national living system. This year's salary will receive £1,300 more support from this government. A low-income working couple with two children will receive £1,800.

Mr President, this is what workers' achievement in Britain looks like, but if you have any real ideas for the economy you should say So, because all I hear from the opposite party is more spending, more borrowing, higher inflation , higher interest rates, it's the same old Labor party, this is Mr 24, tax rises, so out of touch is the answer you just gave and it's not just your refusal to take any responsibility for the damage that have caused the ailing economy, the blow to living standards, and also refuses to take necessary action, could stop the donations it is giving to the oil and gas giants, could eliminate its beloved status of not dominated, he could put that money back into the hands of workers and get the NHS back on its feet, that's what a Labor government would do, why doesn't he do it?

Mr. President, record numbers of people in unequal employment situations, no less, the number of people in poverty, fewer people on low wages, the lowest figures on record, Mr. President, talk about this London issue. I think you've already spent the money you say you've raised on five different things, Mr Speaker, it's the same old Labor party, they're always running out of other people's money. Last week I had enough. I certainly don't have this continuous noise, so please note that someone is going to have that cup of tea today, Prime Minister. Speaker, you call this no-dom thing, let's be honest about what your refusal to eliminate no-dom status means: it means that at every possible opportunity you have voted to raise taxes on workers and at the same time take all the possible measures. opportunity to protect a tax avoidance scheme that helped his own finances Why is the Prime Minister telling people across the country that his taxes must be raised so theirs can stay low?

The richest pay more taxes and the poorest pay less taxes. today that in any year of the last Labor government, Mr Speaker, we have also increased the living wage nationally, we have boosted Universal Credit and pensioners, but Mr Speaker, the absolute hypocrisy of this, as we saw last week when This is its own special program. pension plan, I mean, and I said, I said it last week, but I'll say it again, it's literally a law for him and a tax increase for all the other speakers, here's the difference. I would eliminate his pension donation whether it affected me or not.

He refuses to eliminate the no-dom status that benefits him and his family. I can see why he's drawn to this no-dom thing. This prime minister is so far from the country that he boasted that he didn't know any workers. a person of social class so isolated from reality that he proudly told at a conservative garden party how he had moved money from the poorest areas and given it to the rich, so out of touch that he looks at a gas pump and a debit card as if they had just done it. Come from Mars taxes have gone up, is it any wonder he has no idea how food prices are hitting families across the country?

Is it any wonder that under him people pay more and more and receive less and less? Mr Speaker, I'll just look at what happened this week, Mr Speaker, where the Labor Party stood on Monday in another place where they decided to side with the extremist protesters and tonight and tonight we'll see them side with the smugglers. of the people, Mr. Mr. President, I tell you this while we are dedicated to returning the 1,000 illegal immigrants from Albania. Mr. President, just yesterday we were delivering cost-of-living payments to millions of households and today we announced that we will add 20,000 more police officers.

Officers on the street Mr President, we stand with the British people Mr President, that is what the Conservative government does.
