8:01Now PlayingIn the final Prime Minister's Questions before Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ crucial spending review, Keir Starmer faces rogue Labour MPs, Leader of the Opposition Kemi Badenoch, and Alliance MP Sorcha Eastwood. With the review set to determine the direction of government spending for the next three years, today’s PMQs was a crucial one.
Starmer faces pressure from his own party, with Richard Burgon pleading the party leadership not to balance their books on the backs of the disabled. After Starmer's u-turn on the winter fuel payment, he's optimistic that the Prime Minister will turn again on cuts to PIP payments.
In light of riots in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, Sorcha Eastwood has thanks for the police. After an alleged sexual assault, hundreds of masked rioters attacked police and set homes and cars on fire.
Leader of the Liberal Democrats Ed Davey pushes Starmer again on carers, and follows up with questions about how he will cost his defence spending.
Starmer also faces questions on housing from Blackpool South MP Chris Webb, which fall into the domain of his loyal Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner. She's spent most of the last week battling with Rachel Reeves over the prospective social housing budget. Webb calls the 12,000 waiting for social housing a 'damning indictment' of the government. Starmer claims the government are 'turning the tide' on the housing crisis.
