Keir Starmer grilled over two-child cap vote at #PMQs #politics #news #currentaffairs
Keir Starmer faced questions on his refusal to end the two-child benefit cap and the impact his private school VAT policy could have in Scotland as he answered his first PMQs since the election.
SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn joined his colleague Pete Wishart to grill the new Prime Minister over the welfare policy.
On Tuesday, the Labour leader suspended seven MPs after they backed the SNP’s motion to end the cap, which was introduced by the Tories.
In what was an otherwise calm PMQs, Flynn pointed to former prime minister Gordon Brown’s call for Scottish voters to vote Labour to end child poverty ahead of the General Election.
“Yet, last night, Labour MPs from Scotland were instructed to retain the two-child cap which forces children into poverty,” he said.
At one point, MPs laughed at Flynn after he welcomed Labour “ending Tory rule” after the election, which also saw the party take dozens of SNP seats.
