In the UK, the Conservative Party's proposal to abolish workers' National Insurance has sparked criticism from the Labour Party, accusing it of planning unfunded tax cuts. During Prime Minister's Questions, Keir Starmer challenged the Prime Minister, suggesting potential cuts to pensions or the NHS or increased taxes or borrowing. Rishi Sunak, in response, accused Labour of making unfunded promises that would lead to higher taxes for working Britons.
“All we need is now is an especially hardy lettuce and it could be 2022 all over again!” Keir Starmer claimed the PM is “too scared to call an election”. Rishi Sunak replied by saying his government has improved the economy, from increases in pensions to cutting taxes. #PMQs https://t.co/Dzdi7Q16Bx
