Keir Starmer accuses Boris Johnson at PMQs of ‘hammering’ workers

Boris Johnson has been accused of 'hammering' workers with a 'broken tax system' as the end of the universal credit uplift and the hike to national insurance loom. The Labour leader, Keir Starmer, accused the prime minister at PMQs of 'making a bad situation worse' by in effect cutting the pay of those including supermarket workers and teaching assistants by more than £1,000 a year

Just look at the Chancellor laughing. Just makes it so clear.

Always amazes me how they all jeer and cackle and belly laugh. While they make people’s lives harder and worse off.Absolute scumbags!

IF they forced Serco to repay the 37 billion for failing to provide a working track & trace system then they wouldn't have to tax the ordinary working people to get the 36 Billion over 3 years for the NHS! They could also get the other companies that benefitted from lucrative Tory Pandemic contracts to pay back that money! Then ordinary wouldn't have to stump the cash from raised NIC's!!! I'm not an accountant but even I can see how to raise the money better than the current chancellor of the exchequer!

It's scary that these childish, immature crooks are in control of our country. When are the people going to stop accepting this broken system and change it.

Why does Pinocchio sunak sit on the tory front benches smiling & smirking when Kier is talking about the cost, and suffering caused by our tory government's policies

here's an idea...
STOP BORROWING FROM BILLIONAIRES
TAX BILLIONAIRES

This is just a bunch of millionaires acting like children, it is not a debate, it is lazy, self serving, entitlement from people who only care about themselves. How the people of this country can stand by and watch this is beyond me.
Maybe Joseph de Maistre was right when he said, every nation gets the government it deserves.

Why make a joke out of it, where is the 350m that was promised on the red brexit bus for the NHS ?

You can give people on Universal Credit the cut but yet you can give Australia a fleet of nuclear subs start spending tax payers money on us not other countries or refugees

Guarantee:
If he got in power, he would not reduce the tax back down.

They are all the same. A lost cause.

[neilwheel]

How very f**king dare he claim to speak for workers rights when he's a member of the Trilateral Commission? Hypocrisy in the extreme!

[coalville]

I’ve voted since I was 18. Not anymore. Who’d vote for ANY of these muppets? Not me!
