Tory MPs have voted down plans to trigger an emergency budget despite the worsening cost of living crisis.

The Labour amendment to the Queen’s Speech was defeated by 312 to 229.

Anglea Rayner tweeted: “I just voted for an Emergency Budget to tackle the Conservative cost of living crisis. The Conservatives voted it down. Britain deserves better.”

It comes after inflation shot up to its highest level in 40 years, sparking warnings the UK is headed for a recession.

Last night, Tories also voted against Labour’s proposal for a windfall tax that the party said could save struggling families around £600 a year.

It comes windfall tax on oil and gas producers would put investment and jobs at risk, the industry’s trade body warned ministers.

Boris Johnson has come under pressure to introduce a one-off levy on firms which have benefited from globally high oil and gas prices and use the revenue to fund measures to ease the cost-of-living crisis on households struggling with rising bills.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
