Robert Jenrick has accused Sir Keir Starmer of "breaking promises" as speculation grows that the prime minister will raise taxes in October. Mr Starmer delivered a speech on Tuesday where he warned the autumn Budget "will be painful". Mr Jenrick said: "He's only 53 days into this government and he's already breaking promises. He cut the winter fuel allowance so that 10 million pensioners are going to be worse off this winter just as fuel bills look like they're going to be on the rise and he's preparing the ground to raise taxes on middle class people."

Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan voiced strong objections following a tense exchange with Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar. Bachchan criticised the tone used by the Chair, asserting that MPs should not be treated like "school children," especially senior members of Parliament. She expressed particular frustration over the Chairman's decision to cut off the microphone when the Leader of the Opposition attempted to speak, calling it an undemocratic act. Bachchan further condemned the use of what she described as "unparliamentary language," recounting how Dhankhar dismissed her stature as a celebrity, stating, "You may be a celebrity, I do not care." In response, Bachchan emphasised her long-standing experience as a parliamentarian, noting that she was now serving her fifth term. Deeply offended by the conduct in the House, she demanded an apology, arguing that the current discourse in Parliament had reached an unprecedented low.
