PMQs: Starmer and Sunak clash over cost of living

Sir Keir Starmer has highlighted Rishi Sunak's handling of the cost of living crisis and soaring mortgage rates by showcasing Labour's victories at by-elections in Mid Bedfordshire and Tamworth.

The leader of the opposition also challenged the PM about a comment by the Conservative candidate for Tamworth, who said that people should "f*** off" if they are struggling with rising costs.

Sunak hasn’t answered one single question at pmqs since being prime minister

It would be great if real questions asked could get actual real detailed answers! Instead of just sticking the pre-prepared spiel. MP question time feels more like a game where they just care about point scoring against each other, than the general public getting real information about what’s happening or going to happen!

The cost of living is not hurting Sunak bank account.

Sunak is looking more like a man with a one way plane ticket to California! 👋

[rosemarycoleman]

Normal people are struggling and he won't own up to his failures

[andrewfulton]

Talk talk talk, , actions speak louder than words ...the cost of doing nothing crisis

[peterpanini]

The cost of living not hurting politicians... politics in england luck like a spanish party no wonder uk is falling apart...

[undrentide]

I gave up watching because slimy Sunak can never ever answer a question..

[whereweregoingwedontneedroads]

"Hey rishi why is the sky blue"
Rishi "this goverment is doing everything for low income families...."

Sunak youre living on another planet, the majority are the most vulnerable now thanks to your policies. The fact is we are still paying 100% more for our energy than two years ago, this while the shareholders make record profits at our expense

[kincaidwolf]

I am a traditional Conservative voter. Why haven't they removed no evict evictions? Madness.

[jchendrix]

Rishi Sunak needs to be removed asap for Britain to be fixed.

[Queenwraith]

Uk is a joke. Born and bred here but so glad I’m leaving

[scottholmesfootball]

Embarrassing performance from Sunak 😂😂

[sphinx]

What's the point of all this? They don't answer questions, haven't done for years and there's no consequences for not answering questions. So, what is the actual point of this charade?

[TheShoy]

Bloody ell. They just read script from a paper, there is no discussion. Starmer ask question, Sunak, answer, Starmer ask follow up questions, entirely ignoring the Sunaks answer to it. Wtf is this debate

[milk]

Who is bothering with watching this comedy? We all know nothing will be done to the layman.

[jillybe]

The prime minister is supposed to be running the country which is why our representatives can ask him questions in the House. Rishi doesn't seem very familiar with the British system of government imo

[tonylavery]

Did Sunak just say we're getting on with HS2 after cancelling it. Wonders will never cease.

[KahlonPb]

If Rishi win this election I'm leaving this country 😔
