Prime Minister Rishi Sunak spoke to LBC's Nick Ferrari in an exclusive phone-in this morning, taking questions from callers on a range of questions.
The first question faced by the Prime Minister was a father-of-four who is facing a huge hike in his mortgage payments.“Families are struggling with the cost of living - it’s not as fast as I would like but we are heading in the right direction. Inflation is coming down," he said.
Jack said he is facing a rise from £1,500 to £2,800 a month in mortgage repayments and asked: “Why do I feel like I’m being unfairly punished?” Jo from Richmond in North Yorkshire - Mr Sunak's constituency - told the prime minister that four independent businesses had closed down in their area last week, and blamed Tory policies as the reason why they are struggling.
The prime minister was also quizzed on the Bibby Stockholm migrant barge, which he said is not a "shambles" after the introduction of migrants was delayed following failed fire safety checks.said it is "completely unfair" that UK taxpayers are baring the burden to house migrants in hotels, stressing the importance of introducing the Bibby Stockholm.
