Keir Starmer asked Boris Johnson “is everything OK?” in a heated exchange at Prime Minister’s Questions.

The Labour leader branded the prime minister a “Covent Garden pickpocket” over his social care plans, accusing him of breaking a promise that nobody would have to sell their home to pay for care.

After Johnson denied he had rowed back on his manifesto commitments, Sir Keir said: “People will still be forced to sell their homes to pay for care.

“It’s another broken promise – just like he promised he wouldn’t put up tax. Just like he promised 40 new hospitals. Just like he promised a rail revolution in the north.”

And Starmer said last-minute changes to the planned care cap – which will save the government £900 million off the backs of poorer residents – a “working class dementia tax”.

"He's picked the pockets of working people" – Labour's Keir Starmer calls the government's social care plan a "working class dementia tax"

But Boris Johnson says his plans do more "for working people up and down the country than Labour ever did"#PMQs https://t.co/qS27x0UGUl pic.twitter.com/cjc4az3GWR

Hitting out at Tory infighting, amid a brutal briefing war over Johnson’s leadership, Sir Keir said:

“Senior people in Downing Street tell the BBC it’s just not working.”

Echoing the words of a viral TV interview on Monday he added: “Is everything okay, prime minister?” 

He continued: “Who knows if he’ll make it to the next election – but if he does, how does he expect anyone to take him and his promises seriously?”

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.
