i would stand our prime minister against her first minister any day of the week. against her first ministerd | of the week. local public services i in warrington have been slashed to pieces over the last 12 years and we are finding it increasingly difficult to meet the demand for basic statutory services, let alone before inflation started rocketing, pushing cost of delivery up. any more cuts will mean collapse. the prime minister spent last week promising no cuts to public spending and boasting about her two—year energy price freeze. so does she have anything at all on economic policy? have anything at all on economic oli ? i, , , have anything at all on economic ioli ? i, , , ., have anything at all on economic oli ? i, ,, i, i, , i, policy? -- does she have anything at all. the honourable _ all. the honourable lady can or touch questions to the chancellor shortly, but i would point out clearly organisations are facing rising costs and that is in part why we have acted so swiftly and even today we will be putting through legislation to help with the business and cost of living. thank ou,

does the prime minister agree? >> what we have done is we have taken decisive action to make sure people are not facing energy bills of 6000 pounds and two years and we remember the opposition talking about 6 months, we have taken decisive action to make sure we are not facing the highest taxes in 70 years in the face of a global economic slowdown and making sure we protect our economy in this very difficult time internationally and as a result of our action, this has been independently corroborated we will see higher growth and lower inflation. >> avoiding the question, ducking responsibility, lost in denial, no wonder investors have no confidence in her government and this is why it matters. a few weeks ago zach and rebecca from the hamptons were all set to buy their first home. the government's borrowing spree sent interest rates, their mortgage offer was withdrawn. i met them last week, they are back to square one. unable to buy, devastated, sick of excuses and blame shifting, does the prime minister understand

the prime minister is cowering away. if she isn't cowering away, will she be here to stick by the chancellor and to show her confidence in the new plan? >> i know this is not usually in the nature of the honorable gentlemen to overly dramatize the situation. these are serious matters for our constituents. i hope that all honorable men will get here. to deliver low growth investments owned by across the country and restore energy supplies. quick this is really important to our community. we will continue with our program on eu law and also on investments. >> the leader of the house blamed international circumstances. if that is true, why is it people in this country face increases in their mortgage payments? if it is true, why didn't they say yesterday the crash in the markets is the result of unique circumstances in the u.k.? wouldn't it be better for her and for the prime minister to admit they got wrong that they are responsible as the first unnecessary step in rebuilding commoners in the markets? >> i would also sugge

he is the 1st on british prime minister, non white british prime minister. but he's also incredibly wealthy man. and i'm wondering, is there is there 8 today? a he's been trying to with his words today to say, i do understand your pain. it's a little bit of a tall order given that he is married to the daughter of probably the wealthiest entrepreneur in india, m e. so he is a very wealthy man, and he's made some foolish comments over the last couple of years, which suggests that he's out to touch. having said that, i think the fact that he is a british asian, his grandparents were immigrants to the united kingdom. i think on the whole that plays in his favor, but it's a, it's a narrow balance. i think there are, after all, there is quite a strong anti immigrant, anti foreign, a tendency that actually was the tendency that voted for brick set. so he's got to somehow and he's got to balance this i think on the whole the, the positive reaction is the 1st one we've seen today. that is the 1st man of indian origin ever to be prime minister in britain. quin p. o he

we've had prime ministers hung we've had prime ministers, exiled with his prime ministers, assassinated and other attacks. mr. hahn is the 1st prime minister in the history of pockets thought that has been democratic. he removed through a vote of no confidence. so i believe that despite our turbulent history, this is actually a significant achievement, of course, is to con con, say that he can't say that because of his own incompetence, he lost the support of his allies. so he's come up with this convoluted conspiracy theory. i think that one can play all one month to sentiments and a give some sort of conspiracy serial statements, but the facts also matter to the voters who lived the 4 years. mr. ron hands. government, where are mcclintic writes were convert reversed a media freedom sort of as our human rights were diverse, our economic rights for us, the economic situation and difficulties that our people are facing today while severe ang grape. they all remember that they didn't come about the last 4 months. it happened over the course of the next of the lot over the last 4 years, we

british prime minister.e in india, the news channels have been abuzz about talk of that. some people say the timing could not have been better. this coming on such an auspicious day for hindus not just here but around the world. and an auspicious day for india one news channel saying rishi sunak has given the entire nation a diwali gift. this is also being seen through another prism. this year marks 75 years since india gained independence from british rule. many people say that change in relationship that has taken us to a point where you now have a british prime minister of indian origin is usually significant. i was struck by the words from one news channel here in india who said that history has come full circle in britain, and it said that the indian sun rises over the empire now. laura: you have covered elections all over the world, including here in the u.s. and in the u.k. race was a factor when barack obama was elected president. do you think that rishi sunak's race was a factor at all in britain wi

prime minister. this decision is an historic one and shows once again, the diversity and talents of our party. richie has my full support and i'm proud of the campaign. we ran ungrateful to all those across all sides of our party. who gave me their backing. so they, you have it, you know, any more than probably going to be in line, possibly for a senior position in a soon not government. who knows that very likely. but she has gone absolutely to the wire. a lot of her support is a lot of her managers. those aids who have helped her all along had disagreed with her staying in so long. she thought she could do it. they thought the every extra alice spence of uncertainty in that situation was going to cost the party dear in terms of unity. and there is a major issue with disunity with the conservative party right now. as soon as he has a mountain to climb and not just with the economic crisis, he has to really work on unity, the e r g. the european research group is a right wing section of the party. it

then it was into wednesday and prime minister's questions and all eyes on the prime minister. 45p tax. 20p tax cut, gone. two—year energy freeze, gone. they enjoyed this. it is a good device, this. economic credibility, gone. normally, the rule of three says three things work but there are so many u—turns, he had to keep going with six or seven and by the end we forgot what he was saying. they are all gone, so why is she still here? then she stands up and tries to put it back on keir starmer by quoting a figure from the past. mr speaker, i am a fighter and not a quitter. - peter mandelson, 2001. i am a fighter and not a quitter! last week the prime minister stood there and promised absolutely no spending reductions. they all cheered. this week, the chancellor announced a new wave of cuts. she has learnt you can't short cut and go ahead of the experts, maybe going back to a bit of the brexit debate when the conservative party used to be the party that was conserving institutions, but they seem to reinvent themselves since brexit as one which doesn't trust experts. can the prime ministe
