Reform UK leader Nigel Farage pressed Prime Minister Keir Starmer during Prime Minister’s Questions, demanding faster closure of migrant hotels across Britain. Farage said local councils were acting amid safety concerns, while Starmer responded that his government has already halved the number of hotels and will “close every one” by the end of this Parliament. The exchange quickly turned sharp as Starmer accused Farage of failing to condemn racism within his party.

00:00Mr Speaker, I've only got 30 seconds. The Prime Minister has stated very
00:13clearly that he wants to close the migrant hotels by the end of this
00:17Parliament. Well, the reform-led West Northamptonshire Council, brilliantly led
00:23Council, will be issuing foreclosure notices on three migrant hotels within
00:31the next few days in response to grave public concern about the safety of women
00:38and girls on the streets of West Northamptonshire. Would the Prime Minister
00:43approve of us speeding up the closure of the migrant hotels?
00:48Mr Speaker, we will grip the mesh we inherited and close every hotel. At that
00:53peak under the previous government, there were 400 hotels. Now there are only 200
00:57remaining. But he says he does not have time to condemn the comments calling
01:01children in care evil. He has also not had the time, it appears, to condemn the
01:05racist comments of his own MP. Utterly spineless.

01:12Last week, I visited the new Diagnostics Centre at Withington Community
01:18Hospital. As well as the 85,000 new appointments it is going to create, I was
01:22really pleased to see the new solar panels and heat pumps being designed into the
01:26building. So, in the week of COP—and can I thank the Prime Minister for his
01:30climate leadership and attending COP—in the week of COP, what more can we do to
01:35ensure that new public buildings have green energy designed into them?
01:38Mr Speaker, I was very proud to attend COP last week. The UK is leading on tackling climate
01:44change, delivering energy security and getting bills down and generating hundreds of jobs across
01:50the country. We are investing over £250 million to put rooftop solar on schools, hospitals and
01:56military sites across the country. That will deliver £400 million of savings to renew our
02:01public services.
02:02The Prime Minister, successive governments impose massive environmental tariffs on customers
02:12using UK-produced renewable electricity, but far less on imported carbon fuel mains gas. This
02:21is the main reason why those not on the gas grid—i.e. those living in rural Britain—pay a great deal more to
02:28heat their properties. Yes, renewable projects are important, but the huge environmental
02:33tariffs on our electricity bills are not fair. Would the Prime Minister acknowledge this
02:39injustice and commit his Government to addressing this?
02:43The Prime Minister, I absolutely recognise the need to address the imbalance between electricity
02:49and gas prices. We are exploring options to create a fairer system, and I am happy for
02:56the Prime Minister to keep him updated on what we are looking at. It is thanks to those levers
03:01and Labour's expansion of the warm homes discount that six million families will be getting £150
03:07of their energy bills this winter. I know that he will welcome the £33 billion in investment
03:13from SSE, helping connect clean energy to areas across Scotland where it is most needed.
03:18Thank you, Mr Speaker. Prior to the general election, the Health Secretary visited Amber Valley
03:25and declared it a NHS dentistry desert. Since then, I have secured £240,000 of additional funding,
03:34encouraged my constituents to access the 16,300 emergency appointments in Derbyshire, and last week
03:42secured thousands of extra UDAs. But there is more to do, so can the Prime Minister update
03:49me on the progress of the contract negotiations with the BDA and the timescale that the Department
03:55is working to do?
03:57The Prime Minister, I am appalled that we inherited such a situation where tooth decay is the most
04:03common reason where children between five and nine are admitted to hospital. Every children's
04:08hospital, under their watch, is going in five to nine. I was very shocked when I heard this
04:14the first time at Alderay Hospital up in the north-west, that more children are being admitted
04:19to have their teeth taken out because they are rotting between the ages of five to nine than
04:22any other operation. That was their record. They should just be ashamed of it. Ashamed of it.
04:27It is why I am determined to rebuild NHS dentistry. I can confirm that discussions are underway with
04:32the sector, including the British Dental Association, on fundamental reform to the dental contract
04:38to get her constituents the care that they need and that they deserve.
05:02So today, I am going to start by thinking about how. They are going to beорд of it.
05:04This is because of what? It does not happen. If you are perfect, then you are going to be
05:08a business as a pre-chalant, the need for anything behind them. If you are still
05:09prepared for the delivery of the sake of the population. When you can remember that the
05:11security of the past, you are going to have a wife, right? And two years
05:13are going to be the same. We are going to be the same. When you are going to place
05:14the following year, the two years of the recording are going to happen, it is the
05:17simple reason or what we have worked. And one day, the other way you have to have
05:18been working on these videos that we can really make it through. And one day, you do
05:19something that works without going to date, remember, you are
