Prime minister talks up rising employment and makes false claims over inflation
Boris Johnson and Angela Rayner have clashed over energy prices and the wider cost of living in the first prime minister’s questions of the year, during which Johnson made a series of false statements to advance his arguments.
Rayner, standing in for Keir Starmer after the Labour leader again tested positive for Covid, castigated Johnson over the impact of inflation and rising bills, saying the prime minister was “governing shambolically” and trying to blame others.
