What to expect from Prime Minister’s Questions

Liz Truss has just begun her premiership but has already come under scrutiny from leader of the opposition Keir Starmer.

The Labour leader congratulated Truss on her victory in the party election but was quick to criticise the Conservative party. He said: “After 12 years of Tories all we have to show for it is low wages, high prices, and a Tory cost of living crisis. Only Labour can deliver the fresh start our country needs.”

Starmer continued his criticism of the new prime minister by describing her as “out of touch” due to her plans to cut corporation tax.

In a recent interview on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg Truss said: “What’s happening is we have had relatively low growth so we’ve not had more than an average of 1% growth and that has been holding our country back.”

Starmer has been critical of Ms Truss and has accused her of ignoring the cost of living crisis. Which he has described as “the single most important thing bearing down on so many millions of households.”
