Labour's Vicky Foxcroft says the cut to universal credit is "hitting people hard" and that a charity in her constituency is fundraising to support people through the winter.

She says the PM is "well known" for his ability to attract donors and asks him to use his skills to raise money for the cause.

"Or even better will he cancelled the cuts," she asks.

Boris Johnson says his government has abolished the old system that "unfairly taxed" people on universal credit.

He adds that Conservatives believe "in rewarding work" and accuses Labour of wanting to abolish universal credit altogether.

Conservative Mike Wood says the new Police and Crime Commissioner for the West Midlands has chosen to cut back on stop and search.

He says stop and searches "must be proportionate and not discriminatory," but they remain "an important part" of keeping communities safe.

And he asks if the Prime Minister agrees.

Boris Johnson says this is a conversation he recently had with the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.

But he says he believes the Labour mayor is wrong to cut back on stop and search, as it helps prevent knife crime.

Labour's Paul Blomfield asks about his constituent who he says is a "victim of the cladding scandal".

He says she has been forced to pay £5,500 for a waking watch and work to make her building safer has been blocked by the freeholder.

Yet, Blomfield says, the PM has said his constituent had "a frankly unnecessary sense of anxiety".

Johnson says he has "have every sympathy" with the woman and adds it is "unfair that people such as her are placed in a position of unnecessary anxiety when she should be reassured".

He adds: "People should be making sure we do not unnecessarily undermine the confidence of the market and the people in these homes because they are not unsafe."

Labour used the row over "sleaze" that is bubbling around the attempts to overturn Owen Paterson's suspension for lobbying, to segue into the cost of living.

Angela Rayner said the Tory party was "wallowing in sleaze" while the country faced higher bills and tax rises.

It's not the first time this year Labour have sought to evoke the "sleaze scandals" of the 1990s which led to the downfall of some Conservative ministers.

These stories often gain a lot of traction in parliament - and are important for any who care about how MPs' behaviour and standards are upheld - but a challenge can be making them cut-through with the public.

Labour will be hoping by pitting this story against the backdrop of increasing living costs is one way to try to achieve that.

Conservative MP Jill Mortimer raises the case of her constituent who still deals with the daily torment of losing a child.

She says on the 28 November 1981 Katrice Lee went missing in a military shopping complex in Germany, never to be seen again.

She asks for a meeting between Boris Johnson and Katrice's father, Richard, "father to father".

Boris Johnson says of course he would be willing to speak to him.

Conservative MP and ex-Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt warns of "severe shortages in nearly every speciality" of the NHS.

He asks the PM to support a proposal to require NHS England to do regular, independent forecasts of the number of doctors and nurses that it needs to train.

He argues that it would reassure people "we are training enough doctors and nurses for the future".

Boris Johnson replies that there are 50,000 more healthcare professional in the NHS this year than there were last year.

He adds the government was trying to fix waiting lists caused by the pandemic with £36bn of funding.

Labour MP Florence Eshalomi says her constituent recently died by suicide as the result of ongoing domestic abuse.

She says the woman's husband and former abuser now stands to inherit all of her assets and pension.

She asks for a meeting with him to try and tackle the loophole.

Boris Johnson agrees and says he will meet with her to address changes needed in the law.

Conservative MP Peter Gibson asks the PM if he will meet him to discuss the eastern leg of HS2 and reopen the Leeds side line to "allow the whole region to be better connected".

Boris Johnson urges the MP to "wait for the integrated rail plan to come out".

"In the meantime we are upgrading Darlington station," he says.

The Alba Party MP Neale Hanvey says Scotland is vital for the UK's energy needs, and will be vital for future offshore capabilities.

In fact, he says, the rest of the UK is reliant on Scotland, not the other way around.

He continues the theme, saying not supporting a carbon capture project in Scotland shows the prime minister not Bond, but more Blofeld, for the "rest of COP" to see.

Boris Johnson says that Scotland and the rest of the UK has made "astonishing achievements" in decarbonising energy.

He says he finds the "spirit of co-operation" between different countries at COP26 a very good thing.

The SNP's Ian Blackford uses his questions to ask why the government rejected a project designed to take and store carbon dioxide in Scotland.

Blackford says the government hasn't given a "clear reason" for the rejection.

"I'm a massive enthusiast for carbon capture and storage," Boris Johnson replies, telling the MP the government is supporting "amazing Scottish plans to get clean energy from wind, hydrogen, all sorts of means".

But Blackford says the project put forward "the best bid" and says the decision to reject it was "obviously a political one".

The PM says the MP should be "less gloomy" and promises that "we will come back to this".

Labour's deputy leader says she is from a military family herself, and the "government's actions don't match their words" on supporting veterans.

In her final question, Angela Rayner says the tax cut on domestic flights cost £30m, which is 50% of the budget on mental health support for combat veterans.

Boris Johnson says that the economy is "strong", which means that the country can "invest massively in the NHS".

He says Rayner has "a gigawatt more energy" than the leader of the Labour Party, Sir Keir Starmer, although the party continues to "play politics while we deliver".

Angela Rayner says bankers will receive a £4bn tax cut following the Budget.

"Good news for donors who gave his party half a million pounds, not such good news for the rest of us," she adds.

She says the Budget also contained a £1bn cut for day-to-day defence spending.

"Will our service men and women face pay cuts, or will there be fewer of them," she asks.

Boris Johnson replies that Labour would have pulled the UK out of Nato and tried to abolish the army.

He adds that defence spending is "the highest since the Cold War".

Angela Rayner has referenced the Tories' opposition to allowing rule changes to apply retrospectively when it came to the former Tory - now independent - MP Rob Roberts.

He was suspended for six weeks for sexual harassment but didn't face a recall petition.

MPs then changed the rules to allow MPs suspended for harassment or bullying to be recalled, but Tories voted against allowing that to apply retrospectively to Roberts.

Rayner today said: "They said the rules could not be changed after the event."

She - and Labour - are accusing Conservatives of now trying to do exactly that when it comes to the suspension of their colleague Owen Paterson.

But the prime minister insists it's about giving MPs the right to appeal.

Labour's Angela Rayner says the Resolution Foundation found that by 2026 taxes will be £3,000 higher per household since before Boris Johnson took office.

She says families are concerned about the cost of Christmas, and bills are going up every week.

She asks how much banks received in a tax cut in the Budget.

Johnson says the banks pay a lot of money in tax, as they can pay the most.

And he says when Labour was faced with the option of voting for increased spending on public services, the party voted against it.

"This isn't about playing politics, this is about playing by the rules," Rayner replies.

"When they break the rules, they just remake the rules."

Moving on to the recent Budget, Labour's deputy asks the PM if he can say what the projected tax increase per household is over the next five years.

Boris Johnson replies that the Budget took "cash from those who can afford to pay the most".

He adds that the hardest working and poorest families got "a very substantial tax cut".

Labour's Angela Rayner says "if it was a police officer, a teacher, a doctor, we would expect the independent process to be followed, and not changed after the verdict".

She says it is one rule for Conservative MPs and "one rule for the rest of us".

Rayner asks why the prime minister is "making it up as he goes along".

Boris Johnson says all these other professions have the right to appeal.

He accuses her of "playing politics" to loud shouts of disapproval from the Labour benches.

And he says the government is prioritising dealing with the "people's priorities".

Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner asks the PM about the Owen Paterson case.

She says he broke the rules and accuses Johnson of responding by "scrapping the independent process".

"In no other profession could someone be found guilty and just have their mates vote them back into the job," she adds.

"Paid lobbying is wrong," replies Boris Johnson, adding that "MPs found guilty of that should apologise".

However, he says the issue is whether the process gives MPs "a fair opportunity to make fair representations".

Labour MP Rupa Huq starts this session of Prime Minister's Questions by saying Boris Johnson has been busy "preaching" at COP26.

She says what can be done immediately to help the climate is to kill off the third runway at Heathrow Airport.

Johnson says net zero aviation is "the future, clean, green, aviation".

He says this has a chance of arriving "a lot earlier than a third runway at Heathrow".

Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle gets to his feet to announce the beginning of Prime Minister's Questions.
