Boris Johnson faced scrutiny during a fiery PMQs over the cost of living crisis as the local elections beckon.
SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford said: “It is clearer by the day that the Prime Minister’s supposed plan to fight the Tory made cost-of-living crisis is not only non-fiscal, it’s non-existent.
Ian Blackford called on the PM to 'scrap his National Insurance hike.'
"Scrap his National Insurance tax hike, reverse the Tory cuts to Universal Credit and match Scotland’s 6% benefits rise instead of imposing a real term cut".
Boris Johnson replied: “We’re helping families up and down the country with the Universal Credit….we’re tapering it so that people get another £1,000 in their pockets….
He added: “Under this Government there are now far fewer children children in workless households than there were before this Government came in".
