it's labour at the moment. these seats are also seats that he has in his backyard as it were, southern england. is it possible for him to continue this successful act to satisfy both constituencies? i think it will be very difficult. when parties are in power, the longer they spend in power, the less palatable they are for voters. so far, he has, borisjohnson has benefited from delivering brexit, being in total control of the management of the pandemic with all its mistakes but, it means he is in charge of the communication strategy of the pandemic. millions of people on furlough, thousands of companies being helped by the british government, and successful vaccine roll—out programme. all of that benefits the conservatives. but it's not going to last until the next election and that is when the problems will start for boris johnson. we started to see as we saw at the last by—election in chesham and amersham how the liberal democrats are starting to kind of break the blue wall in seats. in typical safe conse

he wanted borisjohnson to back labour's own plan. the prime minister wanted to focus on labour's past. i can tell you the difference between us and the party up there, it's that we put in the tough measures that are needed to give kids a better education across the country. when we rolled out the academies programme which have driven up standards, who opposed it? they did. when we put in tough measures to ensure discipline in schools, mr speaker, they opposed it. the last election, mr speaker, they even campaign to get rid of 0fsted which is so vital. the speaker didn't like that answer. just to reminder prime - minister, it's prime minister's questions, it is not- the agenda of the election. the prime minister, 0fsted, i'm | not interested in what they put| on the agenda, i'm more . interested in you answering the question. sir lindsay hoyle. keir starmer�*s questions about the school catch—up plan for england offered a preview of a labour led debate later in the commons. labour set out what it would do differently spending more

but labour mps kept up the pressure. people across our country will have breathed a huge sigh of relief when the prime minister stood on the steps of downing street and exclaimed that he had a clear, prepared plan to solve the social care crisis. but almost two years have passed, and still, there is no plan insight. indeed, the minister has just said today that they are still working on a plan. so, minister, what's the holdup, who is obstructing the prime minister, or was he simply misleading the nation as usual? we've had a pandemic. it's been an unprecedented challenge for our country, for our government, and our social care system. in fact, all those working on social care within the department have been focused on our pandemic response for most of the last 18 months — and, i think you'll say, perfectly rightly. residents in blackpool- spend a higher percentage of their income on the council tax than anywhere else - in the whole country. although allowing councils to implement a social care precept has brought- in m

but with labour backing the delay, ministers won the vote easily. the ayes to the right, 461, the noes to the left, 60. so the ayes have it, the ayes have it. that vote came hours after boris johnson's former adviser, dominic cummings, published text messages that suggested the prime minister had described his health secretary, matt hancock, as "hopeless" — with a strong swear word thrown in for emphasis. but at prime minister's questions, the labour leader, sir keir starmer, chose to blame borisjohnson for the delay in easing lockdown — a decision due, he said, to the failure to put india, where the delta variant was first discovered, on the red list, which would have meant new arrivals having to quarantine in hotels. mr speaker, we all want these restrictions to be over, for our economy to be open, for businesses to thrive, but the prime minister's indecision at the borders has blown it. and the problem with everything the prime minister says today, both what he says at the despatch box and also what he mutters, is that we've heard it all befo

labour ask if ministers broke the rules on emails. it isn't the original scandal that gets people into the most trouble. it's the attempt to cover up, actually, the chance that there might be one. also in this programme, the speaker's patience with the government is wearing thin. again. it would be better for all- concerned if the government simply followed its own i ministerial code and made important announcements to this house. _ but first, there's been a sharp rise in the number of pupils sent home from school in england because of covid. the latest official figures showed that more than 375,000 pupils — that's about one in 20 — were out of school for covid—related reasons. absences have quadrupled during june. the government has signalled a shift to more covid testing for schools in september rather than having to send home whole "bubbles" of pupils. but with many more children forced to isolate, mps on the education committee asked the government's former education catch—up tsar how ministers should tackle the issue. how
