with the british house of commons.

>> does the prime minister not agree that we have left residents out in the cold? with tax cuts and falling inflation, does he agree we should be making it easier? will they call on getting the buses?

>> we are providing 17 million pounds for bus services and introduced fair buses, but seeing the benefits of reopening the bus station, it is clear democrats should get on and do it. >> i welcome the postmasters in the gallery. mr. speaker, we marked 75 years since the disaster at hillsboro. it must be marked by a hillsboro law. we also lost a lifelong member of the labour party.

i am privileged to be the proud owner of the prime minister's new book. it is a rare unsigned copy. it is quite the read. she claims the disastrous budget that triggered chaos was the happiest moment of her premier ship. >> mr. speaker spend less time reading that book and more reading the deputy leaders tax advice.

>> [indiscernible] >> mr. speaker, mr. speaker. we've got a billionaire prime minister whose families used schemes to avoid millions of pounds for working-class workers. and the former prime minister has a long list of people to blame for economic misery. they do not want to hear it. a long list of people to blame.

she blames the bank of england, the treasury. we even learns lettuce was part of the deep state. it was the tories unfunded tax cuts, billions of pounds that crashed the economy and left millions paying more on their mortgages. >> everyone knows two years ago i was not afraid of what her economic qualities would lead to. i was right then, that i'm right now when i say these economic policies would be a disaster. it would send mortgages and taxes up and working people

would pay the price. >> everyone knows it is the tories of session with wild tax cuts that crashed the economy. the whole country is living it, so when is he going to learn the lesson and explain where the money is coming from for his plan to scrap national insurance? >> when my predecessor was running, i had the stomach to argue about economic policies, not wants, but twice. he tried to make his predecessor prime minister.

opposing nato, ignoring anti-semitism and siding with our enemy. he put his interests ahead of ours. >> when he was running for leader, he was funneling money from all areas to pay. >> notice he is not denying the plan to scrap insurance, but he is in -- he is refusing to say where the money will come from. no more spending, no more waffling. >> mr. speaker, this is the choice. the nhs or income tax. which one is it? >> mr. speaker, mr. speaker.

we've cut taxes by 900 pounds. we delivered the biggest tax cuts since the 1980's. but labor is already putting taxes up in wales, putting up taxes for businesses. council tax by 21%. they've put up taxes 70% and this is just a glimpse of what they would do. a few weeks ago he admitted it saying he would quote put up taxes. it is always the same. higher taxes and working people pay the price. >> no single politician has put tax up more times than he has. just hang on, he was given the

chance to rule out pensions to pay for scrapping the cuts. he is avoiding the question. i'm going to give him another chance. will he rule out cuts or putting up taxes to pay for this unfunded promise to scrap insurance, which is it? >> i make no apology about wanting to unfriend -- and the unfairness. pensioners have received a 900 pounds increase, let's have a look at what laborers tax advisor has to say.

they think supporting pensioners is a disgrace. they believe free tv licenses are ridiculous. increases in income tax, national insurance and vat. they've been copying and pasting. >> so this is extraordinary. two chances, two chances. mr. speaker, two chances to rule out cuts. cuts to the nh s, to fund his promise. >> i want to set a good example, not a bad one. >> two chances to rule out these

cuts, cuts to pensions for taxes. millions of people watching what is going to happen to pensions. it really does matter so one last chance. to abolish national insurance with cuts to the state pension or another tory tax rise. >> mr. speaker, he has got to keep up. this government delivered an increase, committed to the next parliament. i do think i heard him say that. when it comes to the nhs you would much rather be treated in england, not wales.

not a word about their plans for the country. taxes have been cut by 900 pounds, free childcare has been expanded. nine months in a row, mr. speaker and inflation is down again 3.2%. our plan is working. a brighter future. >> mr. speaker, i welcome the 20 million pounds allocated and i'm very eager to see that the money is spent according to local wishes. will my friend join me in urging to make sure the voices are

heard in the money is spent the way the people want? >> our long-term plan means 75 towns including carleton will benefit from 20 million pounds each to invest, but that would be in the hands of local people deciding their priorities. investing in parks and green spaces, tackling antisocial behavior, he deserves praise for securing that. >> thank you, mr. speaker. a former prime minister told the public the truth and i'm not referring to that one mr. speaker. the people of these aisles, the forces pulling us apart or

greater than the forces holding it together. maybe the prime minister can agree with one of his predecessors. >> i do agree with my predecessors that scotland would be stronger as part of the united kingdom. >> scottish independence is not off the agenda. those remarks were echoed by the general secretary of the scottish trade union. before going on, she said that can be a dangerous place when you tell people to express their wishes. >> may i ask the prime minister,

does he welcome the support of the labour party in denying the people of scotland the opportunity over their own future? >> we did have a vote and what i would suggest is rather than wasting time cracking down on free speech, focus on what the people care about, hospitals, jobs, tax cuts. >> i up or a two-tier -- i abh ore a two-tier system. they handed their constable a new contract while the

investigation was ongoing. does the prime minister agree that transparency throughout investigation is of the utmost importance? >> a key principle is there are the same rules for everyone. show some leadership, publish and get a grip of the situation. when it comes to legal expertise, he is more -- is refusing. >> it is riddled with torture

and murder. will the prime minister can apology? >> we would never condone wrongdoing. the overwhelming majority of the police serve the bigger picture. there would be no peace process. they helped ensure [indiscernible]. >> does my friend agree with me

that if anyone wants to see strong men they only need to bring steelmaking back? tuesday agree the best thing is to not charge a tax -- does he agree that the best thing is not to charge a tax? >> over 130 million pounds of spending showing labor cannot be trusted. taxes going up by 20%, labor means working people paying the price. the people of seaside should

vote in favor of services. >> 10,000 people waited more than 24 hours, the prime minister says they have a plan for the nhs, but the people want to know how long they are going to have to wait? >> our emergency care plan is discharged through hospitals. there is more to do but we saw waiting time improve for the first time in many years and we will deliver improvement for constituents. >> thank you, mr. speaker.

in 2000 10, someone earning 15 thousand pounds paid 1000 pounds in income tax. today they pay less than 500 pounds. does the prime minister agree that this would help create jobs, growth and self-reliance? >> my friend is quite right and because of my plan the economy has turned the corner. a year ahead of expectations, we have cut taxes 900 pounds as part of a plan to end the unfairness of taxation on work. >> four years ago my

constituents was drugged and raped by her boyfriend. juliana was advised reading a transcript of the trial would help her, but she was told she would have to pay 7000 pounds or the transcript. she is not alone. victims pay fees of 22 thousand pounds to read trial transcripts. justice should not have a price tag. the amendment would give victims the rights free of charge. she asked if the prime minister will support this. it will you look her in the eyes and say yes? >> extremely sorry to hear about her case. we are committed to improving victims.

offering families of homicide victims for example, committing to identifying demands. we are looking at options to reduce cost. >> mr. speaker, counsel has a challenge. i'm grateful to the government for the increase in resources. additional resources are needed now. can you release the funding for schools and commit to funding upfront schools? >> i think my friend for highlighting how local authorities have worked for the safety of our program and the

council will cede 16 million pounds to provide for education. the department is reviewing capital bids and we will work with local authorities. >> we did not hear much of a defense from the prime minister. what do you consider to be her greatest achievement? >> while the party opposite were trying to reverse referendum results, which has now meant that brexit has overtaken the netherlands, france and japan to become the largest exporter in the world. >> my constituent almost lost

her life in a fire. they have been a victim of bullying including violating a policy on accommodation by the insurer. institutional failings by the financial authority and she has been delayed by the insurance and is no closer to a resolution. will the prime minister meet with her and me to look at how we can better protect in the insurance industry? it is time to establish -- >> my friend is an excellent campaigner and can i extend my

sympathy to claire and her family? i cannot comment on individual cases but i know they have the power to take action and can contacts insurers. we will look more specifically at the issue. >>[indiscernible] we will welcome him. they told me ukraine has people, courage, but they do not have the weapons to secure freedom. in light of russia's attacks that killed 10 and injured more, can i ask the prime minister

what he says to the statement that this would not have happened if ukraine received defense equipment. >> it is a pleasure to address the members of the ukrainian parliament. i was the first foreign leader to visit ukraine to demonstrate our strong support for the ukrainian people in their struggle against russian aggression. we have increased support, the first country to do so and we have supported ukraine's efforts and will continue to encourage other countries around the world to step up and matched our leadership to see a future for ukraine. >> mr. speaker, on a visit to pimlico, the prime minister has concerns about the rise in crime

and wobble we. government funding to create sentiment, he let them down. >> they are failing london. while burglary is down, violent crime is down and the labor mayor is the only one to have missed his police recruiting target. they will have a chance to cast their vote and i hope they kick him out. >> mr. speaker, my community is reeling from the discovery of 35 bodies and cremated ashes at a funeral home.

it was made worse when they realized that -- does the prime minister agree banks should offer discretion in deciding if chargeback applies? >> can i express my thin bit the cash express my think they -- express my sympathy? >> this can result in increased rates, reduce hospital readmissions. there is no robotic surgery in cornwall. people seeking procedures face a journey of more than 120 miles.

will my friend, the prime minister, support robotic surgery service and reduce the inequality are constituents have lived with? >> i think my right and honorable friend. until i see cornwall is benefiting, providing women and children's hospitals, which we discussed, nhs is looking for opportunities to expand robotics. any decisions will help with inequality, such as areas with less access to robotics. i will ensure the community is considered by the relevant health minister. >> the prime minister told us on

monday that he resolved to make a telephone call to benjamin netanyahu to restrict what has killed and maimed over 100,000 people, 72% of them women and children. can you tell us how the telephone call went and what you will do if an unrestrained war begins? >> i was pleased to speak with prime minister netanyahu who thanked the u.k. for their support over the weekend. we discussed how iran is isolated on the world stage. and i made the point that significant escalation is not in anyone's interests. i retraced concerns in gaza and i welcomed statements about

increasing aid into gaza. we need to see those commitments delivered. >> we are faced by two huge applications. does the prime minister agree that productive farms are not the right place and it should waste peoples time to live and in fear like this? >> particularly at a time of geopolitical threats, we must protect food security. we see more solar, which is one of the cheapest forms of energy. that is why our national

infrastructure planning goals set out a requirement in the energy secretary's are ensuring they strike the right balance to ensure a more british food is grown at home. >> it was clear residents are worried about crime. tory run seaside has some of the highest crime and the burglary rate is 52% higher than anywhere else in the country. will he realize he has not only lost control of his country, but crime in his country? >> what a joke.

crime has been cut, 20,000 more police officers. people with labor are more likely to be victims of burglaries and twice as likely to be victims of robberies. vote conservative and save the streets. >> thank you, mr. speaker. every month my constituency labor spending on interest to cover their debt. more than they used to spend on an energy company. in manchester and to presumably avoid paying tax. does the prime minister agree

counsel has gone too far? the council should focus on great services. >> mr. speaker, the government announced extra funding for the local counsel. we all know what happens when labor are in charge, whether it is racking up the council increase, cutting services, higher crime, it is clear that it is working people that pay that price. >> 64,000 people are on the wait for council housing and families

have been living in hotels, the mayor has built 46 homes, does the prime minister think that is good enough? good enough? >> he has delivered. labor is imposing a council tax rise and what are they getting in exchange? cuts to services and some streets are turning off the lights. conservatives will never let them do that to britain. >> thank you, mr. speaker. can i ask the prime minister to thank his right and honorable friends. we will do the same to support

the factories. >> can i think my friend for his role in championing industry the secretary of state have been engaged with companies to ensure a robust supply chain and particularly in the north, we are pleased. >> the prime minister is no doubt aware of the laws and hundreds of thousands -- one constituent had to sell a wedding gift. people are having to read their pension fund. the collapse of ssb law, making sure the government risk bonds? >> sorry to hear about the

situation. we will get back as soon as possible. that completes prime minister's questions.
