LIVE: Boris Johnson faces grilling PMQs amid crippling cost of living crisis
Boris Johnson faces the final Prime Minister’s Questions of the parliamentary session today with the cost of living crisis once again at the top of the domestic political agenda. Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting had something of a “yes and ho” vibe as ministers bounced around their best (non-fiscal) ideas to alleviate the struggles of Brits facing rising prices and energy bills. The plan is the government will be able to put together a package of cheap proposals to be announced next month, ahead of more serious new support before bills rise again later this year. But both No. 10 and No. 11 can expect to face criticism from Labour Leader Keir Starmer — as well as internal dissent from their own ministers — as calls for a more significant intervention in the form of tax cuts become louder. Mr Johnson expressed an interest in reducing the cost of childcare by reviewing rules on ratios of nursery staff to children. A Cabinet source said Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi is looking at a Scottish style approach for England, with “looser ratios” for 2-year-olds. This was looked at during the Coalition years but never happened. Mr Johnson ordered a review of childcare costs to be sped up. Labour opposed the plan, arguing it would “drive down quality whilst making no difference to availability.” Continue reading Cost of childcare and cars could be slashed under plans to ease cost of living pain https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1838426...
