Watch live: Keir Starmer faces Prime Minister's questions
This video file cannot be played. (Error Code: 102404)
Kemi Badenoch skewered Sir Keir Starmer as a furious row erupted over the pensions triple lock during Prime Minister's Questions.
Mrs Badenoch said the vital measure to protect pensioners is a “Conservative policy”
The Labour leader had claimed his party “can commit” to the triple lock because they had “restored economic stability”.
He added: “The Shadow Chancellor called the triple lock unsustainable. And the leader of the opposition wants to means test it so she can cut it.
But Mrs Badenoch hit back: “The triple lock is a Conservative policy.
“Rather than the Prime Minister congratulating himself on what he has done, why don’t we talk about what he is doing.
“From Sunday, Labour’s jobs tax will mean many British businesses face a terrible choice – to cut wages, put up prices or sack their staff.
“What is the Prime Minister’s advice to those businesses?”

'Attacks on aid workers are never justified'
The Prime Minister has said he is "pressing the Israeli government to accelerate their investigation" into the deaths of three British aid workers killed by an Israeli air strike.
The Labour MP for Truro and Falmouth, Jayne Kirkham, said: "One year ago yesterday my constituent James Henderson was killed with other aid workers from World Central Kitchen (WCK) taking humanitarian aid into Gaza.
"Jim's family have told me Jim would want confirmation from our Government that we're taking all conceivable steps to make sure that aid, power and supplies are safely returned to Gaza.
"Can the PM confirm he's doing all he can to ensure this? And could the Prime Minister also confirm he will continue to push for a full investigation to be completed into the deaths of Jim and the other British WCK workers, and for appropriate action to be taken?"
Sir Keir Starmer replied: "I thank her for raising this appalling incident, and our thoughts remain with the families of Jim, of John Chapman and James Kirby.
"The attacks on aid workers are never justified. The families do deserve justice. We're pressing the Israeli government to accelerate their investigation, including where the criminal proceedings should be initiated."
As the Prime Minister went on to say "Israel must stop blocking aid into Gaza", SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn could be heard shouting, "or what?".

More on calls for an economic 'coalition of the willing'
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has asked Sir Keir Starmer whether he will lead a "coalition of the willing" against US tariffs.
At Prime Minister's Questions, Sir Ed told the Commons: "The Prime Minister has shown commendable leadership over Ukraine with his plan for a military coalition of the willing against (Vladimir) Putin.
"Will he now provide similar leadership with an economic coalition of the willing against (Donald) Trump's tariffs, for free trade, so we can avoid a global trade war and a global recession?"
Prime Minister Sir Keir replied: "I think every week he tries to tempt me to make what I think is a false choice between our relationship with the US and our relationship with other countries, particularly Europe.
"I think that's the wrong choice on defence, on security and intelligence, for reasons that we've rehearsed across this chamber.
"I also think it's wrong on trade and the economy. We have a good deal of trade, a balanced trade relationship with the US, and I believe that our interests are best served by calmly trying to secure a deal which is in our national interest whilst at the same time preparing and leaving all options on the table."
Sir Ed said in response that without tackling tariffs "we could be saying goodbye to free trade for a generation".

PM supports declaration of major incident in Birmingham over bin strike
Sir Keir Starmer said he supports Birmingham City Council’s decision to declare a major incident over the ongoing bin strike.
The Prime Minister said the situation was “completely unacceptable” after he was accused by Tory leader Kemi Badenoch of avoiding the issue.
Mrs Badenoch said: “He doesn’t want to talk about Birmingham and that’s because he knows the situation, so I’ll say it again: 17,000 tonnes of rubbish on Birmingham’s streets. Normally a state of emergency is called for natural disasters, not Labour ones.
“His policies have left our economy dangerously fragile. The Chancellor once again left herself no room for manoeuvre. Economic experts, real economists, say she will either have to break her fiscal rules or put up taxes. Which will it be?”
Sir Keir joked the Tory leader was recycling previous questions from weeks ago, adding: “Only then she was saying in the spring statement we were going to put up taxes.”
He added: “In relation to the situation in Birmingham, it is completely unacceptable. I fully support the council in declaring a major incident to resolve the situation and we will put in whatever additional support is needed.
“But when the party opposite was in government, we lost more days to strike action than in any year since the 1980s. NHS workers were on the picket line, not the front line. That sent waiting lists through the roof. So we’ll take no lectures on industrial harmony from them.”

Starmer fails to rule out cutting the Digital Services Tax on big tech firms
Sir Keir Starmer failed to rule out cutting the Digital Services Tax on big tech companies as part of a deal with the US to avoid tariffs.
There has been mounting speculation that the Government could offer such a concession during negotiations with the White House in a move which would be beneficial to numerous US companies.
Clare Hanna, an SDLP MP, asked the Prime Minister for an assurance that the Digital Services Tax would not be cut.
Sir Keir dodged the question and said: “It is an important issue and there are issues in relation to Northern Ireland in particular that we have to deal with very carefully.
“We will always put the national interest first and that is why I am pleased that talks are ongoing and they are constructive talks.
“I do believe that a trade war is in nobody’s interest and all of the sectors and industries impacted are of the same view so we will continue to make that progress in the national interest.”

MP tears into Starmer over Labour's failures with Birmingham trash strike
Independent MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, Ayoub Khan, said the bin strike in Birmingham is "a damning indictment of Labour's inability to govern".
He said: "This Labour Government has failed the British public at every turn. They have abandoned the Waspi women, leaving them without compensation they deserve. They have turned their backs on pensioners by failing to support the winter fuel allowance.
"They have let down children by keeping the two-child benefit cap in place, and they will inflict further hardship on the most vulnerable by slashing ￡5 billion from benefits.
"But perhaps the most immediate and visible failure, one that poses an immediate and direct health risk to the people of Birmingham, is the appalling financial mismanagement of Labour-run Birmingham City Council.
"After more than a decade of Labour control, their incompetence has led to mountains of uncollected rubbish piling up on every street so far that it can be seen from satellites orbiting space.
"It is nothing short of a disgrace and a damning indictment of Labour's inability to govern. Will the Prime Minister take urgent action to protect the public health and the people of Birmingham?"
Sir Keir Starmer replied: "I've said the situation in Birmingham Council is completely unacceptable but he might want to tell his constituents that we've delivered two million extra appointments for the NHS, so waiting lists are coming down for his constituents; we've delivered the national living wage, a ￡1,400 increase, including for his constituents; we've got record investment into this country, growing the economy, including for his constituents."

Tories: Starmer failed to answer about future tax hikes
A Conservative Party spokesman said: “Today the Prime Minister was asked if he would change the fiscal rules or put up taxes to sort the public finances and he failed to answer.
"With working families already feeling the strain from Awful April’s bill increases, plus the ￡3,500 hit from Labour’s Jobs Tax, they now also face the uncertainty of further tax rises hanging over their heads.”

She wants reassurances of what he is doing to protect the sector.

Badenoch: 'I don't agree with making people poorer'
Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch accused Labour of breaking their manifesto pledge not to increase council tax.
Addressing Sir Keir Starmer at Prime Minister’s Questions, Mrs Badenoch said: “I don’t agree with making people poorer. I don’t agree with pensioner poverty.
“Out there they are calling it ‘awful April’. That’s because of decisions he made, because he made promises and broke them. His promises are worthless, people are getting poorer.
“Before the election he pledged to freeze council tax, instead it is going up everywhere, even in Birmingham where there is 17,000 tonnes of rubbish uncollected on the streets. Does the Prime Minister regret promising the British people he would freeze their council tax, when he has so obviously failed?”
Sir Keir said: “I have to ask, if she doesn’t want people to be poorer, why didn’t she resign when she was in government? The last government put up council tax for 12 years in a row. She, I think, was actually minister for council tax, and in the years she was, she put it up.
“And even now the Conservative’s own local government association manifesto said currently their position, page 9, we asked the Government to remove the caps on council tax. So who’s leading the charge?”
He said the Government had rejected requests from councils in Hampshire, Slough, and Windsor and Maidenhead to increase tax above the usual limit, adding: “It’s no surprise that council tax is ￡300 cheaper under Labour councils than under Tory councils.”

Badenoch: What is the government's advice on job tax?
Sir Keir Starmer’s “jobs tax” is forcing businesses to “cut wages, put up prices, or sack their staff”, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch told the Commons.
At Prime Minister’s Questions, Mrs Badenoch said: “The triple lock was a Conservative policy.”
She added: “Rather than the Prime Minister congratulating himself for what we did, why don’t we talk about what he’s doing?
“From Sunday, Labour’s jobs tax will mean many British businesses face a terrible choice: to cut wages, put up prices, or sack their staff. What is the Prime Minister’s advice to those businesses?”
The Prime Minister replied: “She says the triple lock was Conservative policy. It was once thought to be the party of sound finances, but they blew all of that.
“She asked what we’re doing, we’re clearing up the mess that they left. We’re dealing with global instability, and we recognise the pressures that are bearing down on businesses and individuals and working people, that’s why we’re rolling up our sleeves.
“And yesterday, I was pleased to announce the national living wage increasing by ￡1,400, that’s a pay rise for millions of workers. We’ve announced ￡150 for the warm homes discount, extended now to six million households – that’s one in five families – and wages are going up faster than prices. And never forget, the party opposite: worst living standards on record, inflation up to 11%, public services left on their knees.”

'Biggest brain drain of talent in a generation'
The PM may also face claims that well-off people are fleeing the UK to avoid high taxes, heightening fears of a brain drain.
Shadow Business and Trade Secretary Andrew Griffith has responded to research from the Adam Smith Institute, saying: “It’s fast becoming clear that Labour are presiding over the biggest brain drain of talent in a generation. Whilst every other economic statistic is going backwards, the number of ambitious people leaving is soaring.
Everyone left in the U.K. is a victim as we lose the jobs, businesses and spending of these wealth creators. The government must act fast to stem the flow of top investors out of the UK and prevent average taxpayers having to foot the bill for a loss we will all feel.”

Will the lights go out?
The Heathrow shutdown exposed the fragility of Britain's energy infrastructure and Sir Keir may well face questions about whether the lights will go out on his watch. In Conservative and Reform circles there is no hesitation to attack the drive to "net zero".
Ineos boss Sir Jim Ratcliffe has fired a shot at the Government, warning: “Government tax policy on energy is squeezing the life out of our abundant energy reserves in the North Sea. The UK came perilously close to energy blackouts during this January’s cold snap, when the wind stopped blowing...
“These warnings, and the threat of energy blackouts, will only become more frequent and more serious as domestic gas production falls and critical infrastructure is prematurely decommissioned.”

Win the youth or face extinction
For Kemi Badenoch, Prime Minister's Questions is a priceless opportunity to get a flash of the spotlight. It's a chance to present herself as an alternative Prime Minister. Regardless of how well each performance goes down in front of MPs, this is a chance to be seen (on TV, and increasingly on social media) by a nation which polls show has little love for Labour but has yet to swing behind any of the challengers.
Mrs Badenoch urgently needs to connect with younger voters. Miriam Cates, a high profile member of the 2019 Tory intake who lost her seat at the last election, has delivered a stern warning.
Writing in Conservative Home, she states: "Just 8 per cent of under-30s voted Conservative last July. Traditionally, it was expected that people would become more likely to lean conservative as they grew older, but the ‘conversion age’—where someone becomes more likely to vote Conservative than Labour—is now 63. Unless the Conservative Party finds a way to appeal to young voters, it faces electoral extinction."

Keir can't take his eye off the NHS
Westminster is abuzz with talk of tariffs, fiscal "headroom", growth downgrades and geopolitics... but for people all across the nation today their biggest worry is trying to navigate the NHS; right now citizens are on the phone trying to get a GP's appointment or sitting in A&E waiting to be seen - and the latest research suggest many will be deeply unhappy.
The figures aren't just bad. They are diabolical.
The British Social Attitudes found satisfaction with A&E plunged from 54% in 2019 to 19% last year. With dentistry, it's crashed from 60% to 20%. And for GPs' services, satisfaction has slumped from 68% to 31%.
Labour Health Secretary Wes Streeting has cast himself as the man trying to fix a "broken" NHS after nearly a decade and a half of Conservative Government. But there is only so long that Labour can shovel blame towards the Opposition. And as MPs stand up in the Commons to share horror stories with the Prime Minister, Sir Keir has got to show he understands the buck stops with him.
The PM has devoted much of his bandwidth trying to wrangle the US President to avoid calamity in Ukraine and a disaster for trade, but few issues are more potent at the ballot box than the NHS, and people aren't happy.

Kemi will feel the wind at her back
The Tory leader will walk into the chamber buoyed by the latest More In Common polling showing the Conservatives are in first place - albeit by one point above Reform on 26%. But Labour is in third place on 21%.
She may dare hope that her slow and steady approach is working and voters are taking the Conservatives seriously. This will help morale in Tory ranks.
The big challenge, of course, is that next month's May elections are expected to be very, very difficult for the Tories.

Tories' take on Trump's tariffs
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has said the Government should not retaliate against Donald Trump's upcoming tariffs.
She said a trade deal was the “best way” to avoid the levies and that retaliation would “make everyone poorer”.
Mrs Badenoch said: “This is a time for significant diplomacy and showing that actually, if you put tariffs on, the people who will suffer aren’t just our exporters but also the American consumer who will have to pay more.”
It is unclear what Mr Trump will announce on Wednesday night but his administration views the application of VAT rate as discriminating against US goods and could respond with a 20% tariff on imports from the UK.
Mr Trump has already announced a 25% import tax will be introduced on all cars imported to the US, a measure which will be a blow to the UK’s automotive industry.
Some 16.9% of UK car exports were to the US last year, representing a total of more than 101,000 units worth ￡7.6 billion.
Tariffs on steel and aluminium imports, including from British firms, are already in place.

Keir Starmer could be grilled on job losses caused by tariffs
Tariffs on car imports would put 25,000 UK jobs at risk and “completely destabilise the UK car manufacturing industry”, analysis from the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) suggested.
Although a deal is unlikely to be reached before Mr Trump’s announcement, UK negotiators are reported to be pursuing an agreement with the US focused on technology.
Such a deal is said to include possible changes to the digital services tax – which imposes a 2% levy on the revenues of several major US tech companies – in exchange for a carve-out from the tariffs.
Ministers have refused to deny that changes to the digital services tax are being considered.

Phillipson: UK in 'strong position' to strike US economic deal
The UK is in a “strong position” to strike an economic deal with the US but is “entering a challenging period”, Bridget Phillipson said.
The Education Secretary told Sky News: “We know that we’re entering a challenging period and a trade war with the US would be in no one’s interests.”
She added: “We believe we are in a strong position to strike that kind of deal.”
Asked whether the Government would consider abandoning its fiscal rules in the event of exceptional trade circumstances, she said: “I’m not going to speculate on hypotheticals, not least because those negotiations are still under way.
“We’re working incredibly hard to secure a deal that’s in Britain’s national interest, but fiscal rules do matter.
“They matter because we have to demonstrate that we have a clear sense about how we manage the public finances.
“I think your viewers will have seen in recent years with the Liz Truss government, what happens when you have a government that doesn’t have a grip on the public finances and isn’t prepared to make choices about priorities, and our fiscal rules are important, and they do matter.”

Bridget Phillipson refuses to 'speculate on eventualities' of plan B tariff talks
Bridget Phillipson said she would not “speculate on eventualities” when asked what Britain’s “plan B” is if negotiations fail to produce a wider economic deal with the US.
Asked what the plan B would be, the Education Secretary said: “Well, as I say, because the negotiations are still underway, I don’t want to speculate on eventualities.”
She added that the UK was “well-placed as a nation” to reach an economic deal.
Asked whether the Government would be willing to prop up some businesses if the worst happened, Ms Phillipson said: “I’m not going to speculate on what will or won’t happen in the days to come, but what I can tell you is that we’re continuing to have those very intense negotiations.”

'Discussions are ongoing' on US-UK economic deal, Bridget Phillipson says
Keir Starmer will likely be grilled on his failure to secure an economic deal with the US before tariffs come into force.
“Discussions are ongoing” between the UK and US aimed at securing an agreement, Bridget Phillipson said as she warned “this is going to be a difficult period”.
The Education Secretary did not say whether there was a prospect of the British Government getting an agreement over the line by this week to prevent damage from Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Asked whether this was a possibility, she said: “Our teams are working at pace, have been working really hard in recent weeks, to put us in the best possible position to secure a deal.
“But I think we all recognise this is going to be a difficult period, but there won’t be any knee-jerk reactions from this Government.
“We will reserve all our options in terms of the responses that are available to us, but our focus at the moment is on continuing those discussions and seeking to get a good deal, that’s in the national interest.”
