00:00Isn't the truth that he is too weak to change course and too arrogant to admit he got things
00:05wrong? Mr. Speaker, he is dragging down the country. He is dragging it down. How can he
00:12stand there and say that he is creating jobs? Unemployment has gone up every single month
00:17under this Labour government. And if he doesn't know why borrowing costs are going up, another
00:22reason is that the markets can see that he is too weak to control spending. Now, we are
00:27reading that he wants to have another go at welfare costing. What makes him think that
00:32they will vote for it this time?
00:34Prime Minister.
00:36Mr Speaker, I think I saw that the Leader of the Opposition said, I think at the weekend
00:44to the Sunday Times, I think she said this, I have inherited a gigantic mess and I am cleaning
00:50it up. She said it is very difficult, it is going to take a while. I know exactly how
00:54she feels.
00:55Governor conferred and the USSR.
01:02Mr Speaker, we're not the ones referring ourselves to ethics advisers, the fact is he
01:07is floundering...
01:11Mr. Speaker, he is floundering. Perhaps he should have a read of the covers of the...
01:19Shh!
01:20Can I have not that?
01:22Mr. Speaker, perhaps he should have a read of the covers...
01:25Order, order, order.
01:27We don't want to start the session with somebody leaving, do we?
01:31If somebody wants to volunteer, please do so. If not, I will choose one.
01:35Can I have not that?
01:36They can do the fake chairs as much as they like.
01:38The whole country knows what a mess of the economy they are making.
01:43Mr. Speaker, it is clear that taxes are going up for everyone, except perhaps the Deputy Prime Minister.
01:49I warned before the summer that we would face weeks of speculation about which taxes would be going up.
01:56The former head of the IFS says this sort of uncertainty is actively damaging to the economy.
02:02And now we find that we have to wait until the 26th of November for a budget.
02:08Does he really think the country or the markets can wait that long?
02:12Prime Minister.
02:13Mr. Speaker, she said they are not referring themselves to the ethics advisors.
02:16That is amongst the reasons they got booted out of office last year.
02:21And she complains that we are going through the due process for a budget and going through the necessary steps.
02:26We tried a budget under their watch without going through those steps.
02:30What happened?
02:31They blew up the economy.
02:32We will take no lessons from them.
02:33This is desperate stuff from the Prime Minister.
02:40This week, this week, he had another reset.
02:45This morning, the Prime Minister scrapped his five missions.
02:48And after scrapping his three foundations, scrapping his six first steps to change and his seven pillars for growth,
02:54the truth is this man has got no clue, zero clue.
02:58But this is serious, Mr Speaker.
03:00The Prime Minister's incompetence is hurting real people.
03:03They are losing their jobs.
03:04The cost of everything is going up, from energy bills to the weekly shop.
03:08This is a crisis made in Downing Street.
03:11Isn't the truth that he is too weak to change course and too arrogant to admit he got things wrong?
03:16The Prime Minister, I don't know what social media site she's been on this morning, Mr Speaker.
03:24But I think the Chair of the Tory party said that we were the firefighters this government.
03:29Well, in a sense, we are because we're putting out the fires that they created.
03:33They were the arsenic, the biggest fall in living standards on record, and blowing up the finances.
03:38We spent the first year putting out their fires quite right too.
03:41But now, Mr Speaker, we're delivering on the cost of living.
03:45Funded childcare, £7,500 for working families.
03:49Free breakfast clubs, opening new schools-based nurseries.
03:53That's what we're fighting for.
03:54The best start for every child in this country.
