Starmer dodged confirming tax pledges ahead of budget, citing economic recovery and accusing Tories of mismanagement.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer faced tough questioning from Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch during a heated Prime Minister’s Questions session, where she pressed him to confirm Labour’s pledge not to raise income tax, national insurance, or VAT ahead of the November 26 budget.
Starmer avoided a direct answer, citing upcoming fiscal plans, while accusing the Conservatives of economic mismanagement under austerity, Brexit, and Liz Truss’s mini-budget.
He highlighted improved growth, lower mortgage rates, and international defense deals as evidence of economic recovery.
The session also touched on migration issues, including a returned Channel migrant and a mistaken release of a convicted sex offender, while Starmer condemned Reform UK’s alleged Russian ties and reiterated UK support for aid to Gaza.
