Kemi Badenoch attacks the government's economic record at Prime Minister's Questions - accusing it of an "unprecedented borrowing spree"while putting up taxes for businesses But Keir Starmer says he "won't take lessons" from the Conservatives, who he accuses of being"economic vandals and fantasists"Badenoch also attacks Rachel Reeves' record as chancellor, and rising debt costs, and asks if there will need to be an "emergency Budget"
Starmer says they have one Budget and "strong fiscal rules" which they will stick to - "unlike the party opposite"BBC Verify: UK borrowing costs have risen by slightly more than those of other countries in the last month
Badenoch also raises ex-Treasury minister Tulip Siddiq - who resigned yesterday - possible compensation payments under the Northern Ireland Legacy Act, and the future of the Chagos Islands.

Victims of the IRA are now the latest group to be be betrayed by the scum masquerading as the government, I'm not shocked, if there's an anti British cause out there Liebour will support it.

Kemi Badenoch had a real go at Sir Keir Starmer at PMQs,  she's very fiesty, he seems to work out 'comebacks' in advance she needs to do the same.

Here's a petition worth signing imo.


Amend the Recall of MPs Act 2015 for MPs who have misled voters
Include a mechanism within the Recall of MPs Act 2015 which triggers a recall process for MPs who are found to have deliberately lied or misled voters during their electoral campaigns.




We believe that this would strengthen accountability and uphold the ethical standards expected of our elected officials.

I believe it would be democratic to have the ability to recall MP's found to have broken election promises or that instigate policies that they weren't elected for.


  The price for democracy in Britain was paid for by generations of our forebears who paid the price in blood.

Don't think any government would go for it now, maybe years down the line.
