In a fiery exchange during PMQs, Labour leader Keir Starmer referred to Chancellor Rishi Sunak as “inaction man,” highlighting the government’s floundering response to various crises. Starmer called for a general election, accusing the government of ignoring warnings that led to issues such as crumbling schools, Chinese espionage, and a prisoner escape. Sunak retaliated by questioning Starmer’s leadership and trustworthiness. The prime minister, Boris Johnson, became personally involved in a controversy surrounding concrete used in school buildings. The government also faced criticism for its handling of the recent escape from Wandsworth prison and reports of Chinese espionage. Starmer voiced concerns about the government’s failure to address issues such as terrorism, security, and immigration. Sunak responded by accusing Labour of blocking housing reforms and highlighting the government’s achievements, including a new investment deal for scientists and record-breaking wage increases. The exchange concluded with Starmer calling once again for a general election. Sunak countered by asserting that the Conservatives are working in the best interests of hardworking British citizens, while Labour is aligned with union paymasters and threatens public services. The article also discusses the ongoing debate in the House of Lords surrounding the government’s plans for promoting housebuilding and relaxing EU anti-pollution rules. Lord Deben delivered a scathing critique of the government’s proposal, questioning its disregard for facts and the principles of conservative values. The article ends by mentioning Tobias Ellwood’s resignation as chair of the defence committee ahead of a vote of confidence.
