Triple lock looking under threat

Good old Hunt - Mr Austerity.

Truss looks like she's had anaesthetic in order to attend.

She was utterly fantastic. Summed up the situation perfectly.

But her silence spoke volumes!

Rachel Reeves did good job. Hunt is good at defending the indefensible. His spin is that they are doing us all a favour! Public Services are for the chop. As for Truss

Cowardly in the extreme for Truss to leave Mordaunt and Hunt to do her job.

Unbelievable that she said not a word!

Rachel Reeves -excellent speech!
While Truss is sitting there looking like a noddy dog, Hunt is at least having a stab at doing his best to argue his case but IMO Reeves wiped the floor with the Front Bench
