During Prime Minister's Questions, Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak engaged in a heated exchange. Starmer criticized Sunak for not ruling out cuts to the NHS, pensions, or tax increases to fund the National Insurance promise. Sunak defended himself by pointing out his past criticism of Liz Truss's economic policies and suggested Starmer should read Angela Rayner's tax advice. The confrontation also involved accusations of tax avoidance and smearing a working-class woman.

I gave Rishi Sunak three chances to rule out cuts to the NHS, cuts to the state pension, or tax rises to pay for his Liz Truss style £46 billion unfunded tax cut. Each time, he refused. I’ve explained how Labour will fully fund all our plans. Rishi Sunak can’t do the same. https://t.co/mv3k5l8Prv
Yesterday Liz Truss reminded us of the Tory obsession with wild, unfunded tax cuts that crashed the economy. At #PMQs Rishi Sunak showed he is ready to do it again with an unfunded £46bn promise to abolish NI. We can't afford this economically damaging, reckless Tory government

Starmer right to attack “billionaire” Sunak and other Tories who use their status and riches to avoid tax when Labour’s leader defended “working class woman” Rayner against Conservative smears. The hypocrisy is grotesque. Sunak’s dig at Rayner backfired badly there.
