mr speaker, does the prime minister know how many mortgage payers are paying higher rates since the tory party crashed the economy last autumn? well, mr speaker, our record on homeownership is crystal clear. because of our tax cuts, 90% of first time buyers now don't pay any stamp duty at all, mr speaker. and last year we saw the largest number of people buying their first home in 20 years, mr speaker. that's a conservative government delivering on people's aspirations to own their own homes. keir starmer. mr speaker, the question was how many people are paying more on their mortgages each month? and the answer that the prime minister avoided giving is 850,000. nearly a million people paying more on their mortgage each month because his party used their money as a casino chip. that's why george osbourne called

them economic vandals who created a self—inflicted financial crisis. not for the prime minister and his non—domsing, not for the super wealthy they gave tax cuts to, but for mortgage holders all across the country. so does the prime minister know how many more people will be joining them on higher mortgage rates by the end of this year? well, mr speaker, thanks to the actions we're taking, in fact, the bank of england is showing that public expectations of inflation have now eased to a 15 month low, mr speaker. consumer confidence is at the highest level that it's been at since russia invaded ukraine. and because of our stewardship of the public finances, we can see a clear way to reduce debt and bring interest rates down. but, mr speaker, he keeps in this habit of quoting the former labour shadow chancellor. we know that our plans

will deliver lower inflation and lower interest rates. but we know we know that his plans just mean more debt, mr speaker, and i quote... and i quote, year after year after year. those aren't my words. that's the assessment of the former labour shadow chancellor. some of the exchanges at prime minister's questions, the last pmqs before the local elections in england happening tomorrow. a union representing more than 2000 staff at the police service northern ireland says they aren't paid enough danger money and as a result feel undervalued. it says the staff work under the same terrorist threat as police officers whose annual allowance is six times greater. julian o'neill reports. police staff perform many duties including evidence gathering at crime scenes and 999 call handling.

since 1990 they have received an annual allowance or danger money and recognition of working against the backdrop of a terrorist threat. just below £600, it has barely changed in 33 years, and is £3000 less than the allowance paid to police officers. we all check under cars, we have pretend occupations, we are conscious of social media and the messages go out to all police, we are all under the same threat levels, so it really is a huge down factor to police staff are not treated the same.— treated the same. the chief constable — treated the same. the chief constable supports - treated the same. the chief| constable supports doubling treated the same. the chief - constable supports doubling the payment but for three years, the issue has gone back and forth between police headquarters and the department ofjustice, with 2500 staff becoming frustrated. money isn't always _ staff becoming frustrated. money isn't always the _

tell them her name and date of birth, of which she knew neither command the worst thing was, she didn't believe she had dementia. thank you so much. we didn't believe she had dementia. thank you so much.— didn't believe she had dementia. thank you so much. we are both in ureen! thank you so much. we are both in green! it's — thank you so much. we are both in green! it's like _ thank you so much. we are both in green! it's like we _ thank you so much. we are both in green! it's like we planned - thank you so much. we are both in green! it's like we planned it. - thank you so much. we are both in j green! it's like we planned it. from the beginning _ green! it's like we planned it. from the beginning there _ green! it's like we planned it. from the beginning there was _ green! it's like we planned it. from the beginning there was no - green! it's like we planned it. from| the beginning there was no support, there is nothing to stop i am an only child, my mum lives on her own so it'sjust only child, my mum lives on her own so it's just the two of us. but also there is no support from anyone or anything, so the gp says or the clinic says, 0k, your mum has alzheimer's, here are some pills and we will see you in a year. and my mum obviously decided she didn't have alzheimer's, kept throwing the tablets down the toilet, crazy things like that, i would find tablets hidden under the sofa. and i had tojust try tablets hidden under the sofa. and i had to just try and keep everything going. calling up companies, trying to sort out bills, they are saying

things like, 0k, we can talk to you as her daughter, if you could put your mum on the line and i will ask questions. i would your mum on the line and i will ask questions. iwould be your mum on the line and i will ask questions. i would be like, your mum on the line and i will ask questions. iwould be like, 0k, your mum on the line and i will ask questions. iwould be like, ok, you can put her on the line, but when she gets —— which is our spot to date of birth and address is, she has no idea. it’s date of birth and address is, she has no idea-— has no idea. it's astonishing, because you _ has no idea. it's astonishing, because you are _ has no idea. it's astonishing, because you are like, - has no idea. it's astonishing, because you are like, the - has no idea. it's astonishing, - because you are like, the reason i'm calling is because this person doesn't have the capacity, yet you're asking me to put that person on the phone. you're asking me to put that person on the phone-— on the phone. exactly, and i would write things _ on the phone. exactly, and i would write things down _ on the phone. exactly, and i would write things down for _ on the phone. exactly, and i would write things down for her - on the phone. exactly, and i would write things down for her so - on the phone. exactly, and i would write things down for her so she i write things down for her so she could read it but it got to the point she couldn't read things and it was ridiculous. to be speaking to utilities or the bills or people, i don't want to sit and go, look, my mum has alzheimer's, because she is sitting next to me thinking she doesn't have alzheimer's. so she would go crazy and shout at me. so i'm just stuck in this really awkward position of being on the phone to whoever, the utility

company, she is claiming she doesn't have alzheimer's, the woman on the phone saying she needs to get her name and address.— phone saying she needs to get her name and address. charlotte, i was in exactly the _ name and address. charlotte, i was in exactly the same _ name and address. charlotte, i was in exactly the same position. - name and address. charlotte, i was in exactly the same position. i - in exactly the same position. i remember trying to cancel his car insurance because he had his licence taken away. they wanted to speak to him. i had a one—year—old on my knee and he kept saying, what are they asking, what do they need to know? the stress that that builds within you enormous. it is the stress that that builds within you enormous.— the stress that that builds within you enormous._ but i the stress that that builds within i you enormous._ but what you enormous. it is huge. but what we found and _ you enormous. it is huge. but what we found and what _ you enormous. it is huge. but what we found and what charlotte - you enormous. it is huge. but what we found and what charlotte found | we found and what charlotte found was once the piles of paperwork sorted, once the right care was in place, everything changed. it sorted, once the right care was in place, everything changed. it was up lovin: care place, everything changed. it was up loving care home _ place, everything changed. it was up loving care home and _ place, everything changed. it was up loving care home and the _ place, everything changed. it was up loving care home and the right - place, everything changed. it was up loving care home and the right thingj loving care home and the right thing for them commits the best place to be because now i feel like a daughter again.— be because now i feel like a daughteragain. yes. sorry! be because now i feel like a daughter again.- sorry! daughter again. yes. sorry! that is exactly what _ daughter again. yes. sorry! that is exactly what me _ daughter again. yes. sorry! that is exactly what me and _ daughter again. yes. sorry! that is exactly what me and my _ daughter again. yes. sorry! that is exactly what me and my sister - daughter again. yes. sorry! that is| exactly what me and my sister have said, that we can be kids again. the

frustration and the stress have subsided. we think we've got part of our dad back. but should it have been that hard for us, and for others? nina with that look at getting the power of attorney for a loved one who has dementia. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello there. it's turning into a very pleasant day for many parts of the country with more sunshine around. we do have a weak weather front affecting scotland, bringing more cloud and a little rain. a southeasterly breeze will be developing as that area of high pressure tends to move away. that's been keeping it dry, but also rather chilly just recently. as that moves away and we start to see a south—westerly wind in the next few days, so things will get a bit warmer, but also more unsettled. these are the temperatures we've got late afternoon — peaking at 16

or 17 in the sunshine, but chillierfor eastern scotland and down some of these north sea coasts as that southeasterly breeze begins to develop. that will be more noticeable, i suspect, overnight. we'll push away that rain from mainland scotland, move it up towards the northern isles. otherwise it should be dry. some breaks in the cloud, not quite as chilly across eastern parts of england as it was last night. typical temperatures, 5—7 celsius heading into tomorrow. and for many places, we start dry. we'll see some sunshine around. there's more cloud coming into eastern scotland and northeast england as that breeze picks up and we'll see the breeze blowing in cloud and some rain into the southwest, pushing that cloud into northern ireland. so across these areas, it's going to be cooler than today. it'll also be cooler across the east of scotland and northeast england. a bit warmer though, with lighter winds across parts of the midlands and the south east. temperatures here probably reaching 19 celsius. compare that with the struggle to get into double figures in eastern scotland and the north east of england in that chilly breeze off the north sea. we've got that rain though coming into the south west and that

will push its way northwards during the evening and overnight. the rain not really amounting to too much, heading up towards scotland on friday, but it will be followed by some sunshine but also increasing numbers of showers and these could turn heavy, potentially thundery, although southern coastal areas may turn drier during the afternoon. the wind starting to change more to the southwest and decreasing. but in scotland we've got the wind still off the north sea, hence those lower temperatures here, but otherwise typically 15 to 17 celsius on friday afternoon. but there will be quite a few showers around. those will tend to move away overnight. and then with all our weather coming in from the southwest, things are looking more unsettled as we head into the coronation weekend. so there will be some rain around. it may well be warm enough in the sunshine, but it's going to be turning wet on saturday. probably sunday, the driest of the few days before we see some heavy showers returning on monday.
