00:00Mr. Speaker, he doesn't want to answer a question about taking responsibility
00:03because he likes to blame everyone else except himself, and so does the Chancellor.
00:08We now know that the head of the OBR was forced out for telling the truth
00:14that the Chancellor did not need to raise taxes on working people.
00:19We also know that the Chancellor was briefing the media, twisting the facts,
00:27all so she could break her promises and raise taxes.
00:32Mr. Speaker, if she was a CEO, she would have been fired,
00:36and she might even have been prosecuted for market abuse.
00:41That's why we've written to the Financial Conduct Authority.
00:45So will the Prime Minister ensure the Chancellor fully cooperates with any investigation?
00:52Mr. Speaker, she's completely losing the plot.
00:57She clearly didn't read.
01:01May I pay tribute to Richard Hughes and his leadership of the OBR?
01:05He made very clear why he stepped down, and I made very clear my support of the OBR.
01:10But she says take responsibility.
01:12Under this Chancellor, Mr. Speaker, growth is up this year,
01:15defeating and beating the forecast.
01:17Wages are up, more since the general election than in 10 years of the Tories.
01:22We've had, I think, five interest rate cuts.
01:25NHS waiting lists are down.
01:27We've had record investment into this country.
01:29We're turning the page on their austerity and reckless despairing on borrowing.
01:33I'd compare that record to them every day of the week.
