'The prime minister needs to grow up' - SNP leader

The PM replies that that is why his priority is to reduce inflation, which therefore means rising interest rates.But the PM also notes that the SNP in Scotland had a meeting yesterday about the party's future and notes that MSPs decided to send Nicola Sturgeon flowers.In response, a very seriously looking Mr Flynn replies:"Respectfully, I think the prime minister needs to grow up."Sir Keir moves on to press the prime minister about mortgage rates due to rising interest rates.

Sir Keir then attacks the proposed honours list from Liz Truss - saying it will reward"the masterminds of the kamikaze budget" and asks if the PM will block it.He notes Labour wants to ban new oil and gas drilling licences in the North Sea and claims this will be welcomed by"despots like Putin" which sell energy to the UK.

He accuses the PM of being"too weak to block Johnson's list", and suggests people who"covered up lawbreaking" are becoming lawbreakers. It led to the former PM's resignation as the MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip, as well as the departure of ardent ally Nigel Adams. The union's general secretary, Mick Whelan, said in a statement:"Once again our members have decided, and made it clear that we are in this for the long haul.

The fresh elections have to take place between 21 and 27 working days from the issuing of the writ - meaning we could see the by-elections on 13 or 20 July as elections take place on Thursdays. Sir Keir Starmer will try to paint the Tory party as chaotic and out of touch with what really matters to people.
