Sunak accuses Starmer of putting ‘highly-paid’ train drivers before vulnerable pensioners

Rishi Sunak accused Sir Keir Starmer of putting “highly-paid” train drivers ahead of vulnerable pensioners during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday 4 September.

Mr Sunak suggested Sir Keir has taken money away from “low-income” pensioners to give it to “certain unionised workforces in inflation busting pay rises”.

“Can the prime minister explain to Britain’s low-income pensioners, why he has taken money away from them, whilst at the same time, given more money to highly-paid train drivers?” he asked.

In response, the PM pointed to the legacy left by the Conservative government, claiming Labour inherited “absolute chaos from the party opposite”.
