Live: Keir Starmer faces PMQs amid continued Budget questions

Sir Keir Starmer is to face MPs’ questions about the consequences of the Budget after a report warned of the impact of tax hikes on the British economy over the next two years.

The Prime Minister will appear in the House of Commons today for his weekly clash with Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, a week after Chancellor Rachel Reeves set out the Budget.

Sir Keir faces continued scrutiny over the Government’s fiscal plans, including from the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which has warned that tax hikes and reduced spending will act as a “headwind” to the UK economy over the next two years.
