Full exchange: Angela Rayner grills Oliver Dowden on cost of living crisis and child poverty

Angela Rayner grilled Oliver Dowden on the cost of living crisis and child poverty.

Ms Rayner started the exchange at PMQs on 12 July pointing out that the last time the deputies stood in at PMQs two weeks running was in 1996.

Inspired by John Prescott’s question back in 1996, she points out that “tens of 1000s of families are facing repossession and homelessness” due to the ‘Tory mortgage bombshell”.
