“Four years for the average saver to earn £9,000, or in terms the Prime Minister will understand, roughly the annual bill to heat his swimming pool.”
Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer clash over the housing market and rising mortgage costs at the last PMQs before local elections in England.

Good morning UK from Canada ❤
Rishi Sunak is so rich and so out of touch – he will, thankfully for him, never understand the plight of normal, hard working people.
How can they fix things if the PM thinks everything is OK when it is clear Britain is an utter disaster
Tories do not want you to own your own home. They want you to rent off Tory landlords.
Our PM is just a typical sales man trying to sell a dream he can't deliver on.
Rishi is fulfilling his promise to party members.
Hes getting money out of the hands of people that need it into the hands of people that are already doing well.
Both ConLab have embraced decades of open borders Globalisation (which has hollowed out the West) and have no solutions.
Close your eyes and Rishi is Ayoade on a rant. C'mon Richard, cut your hair and do a send up a la Nerine Skinner.
Charlie’s not my king!
Rishi lives in his own little world…..I’m alright jack.
you know what's needed ?? Its a ton of council housing for not just poor people ; but for ordinary professional people that earn normal mid income salaries. And if that isn't done then inflation will keep going.. wages will keep having to go up due to cost of living crisis.. and eventually… yes, we'll get one heck of a housing crash as people lose their homes! face facts.. housing has been allowed to spiral and spiral up and up… and frankly, they're making the little people pay these extortionate figures with money they cannot afford to borrow except in the most favourable of conditions. Recipe for disaster. I'm not usually a socialist.. Im more of a tory.. but this is a special situation they've allowed to get totally out of hand… people need places to live.
The problems facing this country are enormous, did he just say fewer potholes?
On another planet when it comes to the general public, but corporate dodgy deals tax evasion and perks for the rich he is the man to go to.
What is really very sad is that last year so many people bought a home while the economy may now crash. That means that those people who bought their home could very soon lose their jobs and their income and together with that their house too. People who saved up the 9000 may now lose the house and need to start saving the 9000 again for the next attempt. The conservatives "deliver"…
What drama school do these clowns go to?
Everyone needs economic aspirations. There is nothing wrong with that in itself. The question is how far we take it. That said any statesman should be able to successfully manage their own countries economy.
Is brave man a doll?
At least in Russia they voted for Putin. What does that say about Rishi? Where is he? Why do you hardly hear from him? Who does he really represent?
That's it Kier! Answer the questions for the PM. He won't. Keep it coming!
Can you send more money please !?
– Love from Ukraine 🥰🇵🇸
tories cant bark and blame at anyone at this point its been 13 bloody years, out already!
The con conservatives are you better off with the con conservative government
No matter what party wins.
Britain loses.
And Starmer what are your policies apart from doing fa as well wouldnt trust you to organise a chimps tea party never mind leading the Labour Party not fit for purpose 😮
Sunak is Mr. DODGE
Sunak always blame Ukraine and Russia then Sunak should have not sat as PM and just waited when war ended. So useless PM
Dear Sunak you do not understand your job as PM. The stand is for you to answer the questions and not to put the question to Labor union. Sunak always saying Labor organization has not done better instead Sunak should find answer to answer that question and not tell them ir was the fault of Labor group because Labor group is NOT THE P.M. Sunak.
Mr. DODGE SUNAK
Sunak always say everything is doing good but why in reality people are suffering tight budget and others? It is because PM Sunak is out of touch of reality
Peoplw should try Labor group as something new. Do not stick to the out of touch and very rich than the queen elizabeth and king charles Sunak and Conservative group.
sunak needs to be sacked
A mortgage is debt.
Someone tell Richie he needs to answer the question straight.
Starmer is the one out of touch and he dodged votes for local elections as well 2023 to make Labour win. Piece of work
