00:00Mr Speaker, when he talks about security at work, once again it's one rule for him and
00:05another rule for everyone else. But I know that not everything or everyone has survived
00:14his first hundred days in government. So can he confirm that when he promised not to raise
00:20income tax, national insurance or VAT, that commitment applies to both employer and employee
00:27national insurance contributions. Mr Speaker, as he well knows, I'm not going to get drawn
00:33on decisions that will be set out. We made an absolute commitment in relation to not
00:39raising tax on working people. He, of course, was the expert's expert on raising taxes.
00:44And what did we get in return for it? We got a broken economy, broken public services and
00:52a £22 billion black hole in the economy. We're here to stabilise the economy and we
00:58will do so.
