The full exchange: Keir Starmer grills Boris Johnson over slow economic growth

Keir Starmer grilled Boris Johnson during Prime Minister's Questions, accusing him of creating lower growth than every major economy.

"He's game-playing so much, he thinks he's on Love Island."

Starmer said of Johnson that he "thinks he can perform Jedi mind tricks on the country" but that "the problem is that the force is not with him anymore."

"He thinks he's Obi-Wan Kenobi. The truth is, he's Jabba The Hutt."

I didn’t want Scotland to leave us but now I’m like get out whilst you can mate

[jakeaaron]

The reason we have the highest employment rate is because people are having to work to the bone to afford houses, cars, food and to live

[MiniatureDJ]

Watching this honestly makes me sad to be born of this country. These people are so deluded. Makes me sick.

[callumhardy]

Boris just lied on every answer to his questions again.

[shiftylad]

Jesus it looks like a school with classrooms full of kids with no teachers

What's this money into the bank accounts who need it all about that Boris talks about? I've not been offered it. I'm a full-time care worker, single and can't even afford a dentist? By the time I've paid my basic bills I have less than £95 a week for my food, clothes, , toiletries, prescriptions, I could go on. I don't even get paid the national minimum wage for doing a sleepover at work, I use to but down to a judge and this government they changed the rules several years ago

[DarkGunn]

A jedi mind trick wasn't needed when people were stupid to vote for him to begin with.

[paullashmar]

Independence for Scotland and be rid of this awful government.

[nigelmcclatchey]

this farce is truly, truly sickening.

[tejasv]

There needs to be judge sitting in parliament when Boris answers, he must get punished for every lie.

[Simplemankind]

I have been hearing Boris say highest employment for the past a few weeks. How about Boris tells us how badly the overall economy is doing employment is only part of it.

[kennethatkins]

Why does Boris NEVER answer a question ? Only plays the clown with insignificant incorrect information. Smoke and mirrors . Boris what a disgrace,

[russelrutley]

The chair need to grow some confidence and stop him misleading the house

[Ali-gikk]

Johnson just parrots the same lines every week it’s so boring.

[xSkittlesxNewbx]

I feel sorry for anyone who cannot see past this Bojo's manipulative double speak, and still supports the conservative party. I wish that someone would of taught them some critical thinking skills.

[simonbilling]

Britain is in trouble with this government

[hambocarerra]

According to OECD, unemployment in Germany is lower than in Britain - another lie!

[_____alyptic]

We've started contracting, not growing.
Also, Payroll Employment is an easy statistic to mislead with.

[TheMrBennito]

All of a sudden I get it, the image that BoZo has created in my subconsciousness. It is the image of a man hanging onto a pub's counter, hardly able to keep his balance. It took a long time because in a pub the customers are not shouting out in agreement with the nonsense that the drunk burbles up .

Highest number of peoples on payroll but the wages aren't enough to to pay the expenses, 60% of the population need handouts to survive even been working. That say something about litle England.
