In the aftermath of the Budget, Keir Starmer criticized Kemi Badenoch for her conduct during the first Prime Minister’s Questions. The Tory leader faced backlash from the Prime Minister for suggesting that Rachel Reeves would face severe consequences if she were a CEO. Starmer defended Reeves against allegations of misleading the public regarding the Budget.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister is under scrutiny following a recent report from the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) warning that tax increases and reduced spending could hinder the UK economy in the coming years.
During the session, various MPs raised concerns on different issues such as food banks, housing charges, healthcare wait times, and gambling advertising. The discussions also touched on matters like the Customs Union with the EU, water supply issues in Tunbridge Wells, and the impact of the Budget on child poverty.
The exchanges in the Parliament highlighted contrasting views on government policies and actions. Despite the differing opinions, the session concluded with a focus on addressing critical challenges faced by the UK population.
