PMQs: Kemi Badenoch takes aim at Angela Rayner's 'manoeuvres' over leaked tax raid plans

Kemi Badenoch has taken aim at Angela Rayner's "manoeuvres" after a leaked document revealed plans from the Deputy Prime Minister to increase taxes for Britons.

Badenoch urged the Prime Minister to "stop whining about what the last Government did" as she skewered Rayner for being "on manoeuvres" following the Deputy Prime Minister's "secret memo".

"He has lost control of the economy. He has lost control of his Cabinet. She is sitting there staring at me. She knew exactly what she was doing when she briefed that into the papers," Badenoch said.

"She is demanding eight new tax rises as if we haven’t suffered enough. People out there are struggling, businesses are struggling... we cannot have more tax rises."

"Will the Prime Minister rule out new tax rises this year?"

Starmer replied: "She has not learnt or changed. They lost the election because of their appalling record on the NHS, on health, on prisons, you name it.

"She wants to talk about the Deputy Prime Minister. The Deputy Prime Minister is working with the Chancellor, building 1.5 million new homes, reforming our planning system, putting £7billion into our economy and bringing forward our employment rights."
