Badenoch: PM is a coward

ODN

Leader of the Opposition critisized PM on the recent U-turn on the winter fuel payments. It comes as Sir Keir Starmer has insisted that the Government made its U-turn on the winter fuel allowance because the economy has stabilised, rather than in response to the backlash against the policy.

00:00Because he loves talking about Liz Truss. Why? Why? Because he wants to hide from his own economic record.

00:09He's a coward. He's a coward. Every time he stands up there and talks about Liz Truss,

00:14it's because he is scared about talking about his record and what is happening to the economy out there.

00:20One minute, they said it was right to take the winter fuel payment away, that there might be a run on the pound.

00:24The next minute, they said it was right to give it back. This is laughable.

00:29He stands there all puffed up and self-righteous.

00:32Why can't the Prime Minister just admit that he made a mistake?

00:38Mr Speaker, they left a £22 billion black hole that we have to fill.

00:44And that's why we took the right decisions.

00:46We've stabilised the economy. That's why we've seen four interest rate cuts.

00:50The triple lock is committed to on this side. They say it's unsustainable on that side.

00:55That's £470 for most pensioners and good quarter one growth.

00:59Three weeks ago, I said that I wanted more pensioners to be eligible for winter fuel.

01:04I'm really pleased. We set out the threshold of the certainty that is needed.
