The Labour leader accused Rishi Sunak of being in 'denial' over the state of the country as he called the cost of living crisis a 'shocking state of affairs'.
"He can boast all he likes but companies like Shell didn't pay a penny in windfall tax last year and they're still not paying their fair share now."
Mr Sunak accused the Opposition leader of making"inflationary, unfunded spending commitments" and running out of taxpayers' cash to fund Labour's promises."The dictionary definition for unfunded commitments is last year's kamikaze budget. The only country in the G7 still poorer than it was before the pandemic, and he stands there pretending it's all fine. Total denial about the damage and decline that he is presiding over.
Mr Sunak replied:"He has already spent the money he has claimed he would raise from that policy on five different things. It is the same old Labour Party, always running out of other people's money."Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video playerThe fiery session also saw the pair clash over housebuilding targets, with Sir Keir raising the fact that the Home Builders Federation estimate housebuilding is going to fall to its lowest level in 75 years.
