Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said: “We just heard that inflation is up again, the worst in the G7. We left him with 2% inflation. We have borrowing up, unemployment up, taxes are up (..) his budget last year had high taxes. That’s why the economy is contracting.” Sir Keir Starmer replied: “I think of the working people across this country who put in every day and don’t get back what they deserve, and that’s who we’re working for. That’s who we’re fixing the country (for).”

00:00We just heard that inflation is up again, the worst in the G7.
00:04We left him with 2% inflation.
00:06We have borrowing up, unemployment up, taxes are up under his government.
00:12The fact is the prime minister doesn't get it, so let me tell him.
00:15His budget last year had high taxes.
00:18That's why the economy is contracting.
00:21But Mr. Speaker, the government has said that they won't put up taxes for people on modest incomes.
00:26But they also seem incapable of explaining who is in that category.
00:31So can the prime minister clear up the confusion and tell us what he thinks a modest income is?
00:37Mr. Speaker, I think of the working people across this country who put in every day and don't get back what they deserve.
00:44And that's who we're working for.
00:45That's who we're fixing the country.
00:47The sort of people that work hard but haven't necessarily got the savings to buy themselves out of problems.
00:53And Mr. Speaker, that's who we're working for.
00:55And that's why we put the national living wage up.
00:58That's an extra £1,400.
01:00The national minimum wage up.
01:02That's £2,500 a year.
01:04The triple lock, Mr. Speaker, that went up 400, pension up £470.
01:08And of course we're extending childcare, opening free breakfast clubs and free school meals.
01:13We know exactly who we're working for.
01:15She comes here every week and just talks the country down.
