PMQs: Johnson faces MPs' questions on health and social care - BBC News
In his first question time since Parliament's summer break, Boris Johnson defends his new tax, while Labour labels it "unfair".
Sir Keir Starmer asked two specific questions of the prime minister, but he didn’t receive specific answers.

He queried whether the Conservative election promise – that no-one should have to sell their home

To pay for care – still stood.

And he inquired if the extra cash promised for the NHS in England would clear the backlog.

The prime minister sidestepped the questions and instead asked if Labour would oppose the new health and social care levy.

On the assumption Sir Keir would refuse to back it, the PM came equipped with a slogan: "vote Labour, wait longer."

Following a degree of agreement during the Covid crisis, traditional dividing lines were clearly being drawn at PMQs.

The prime minister declared that Labour believed in welfare rather than work.

While the Labour leader accused Boris Johnson of putting his "rich mates" ahead of "working people".
