Heara promised to get unemployment down, and that's because he knows things are going to get worse
0:06
And this goes wider than businesses. Last week, I met staff and patients at Farley Hospice
0:12
They do fantastic work, but they need to find an additional £250,000 to pay the jobs tax
0:21
How does he suggest Farley Hospice, a charity which relies on donations, pays for his tax hike
0:28
Mr Speaker, we have provided £100 million boosting for the sector, and children and young personal hospitals received £26 million funding this year
0:39
But Mr Speaker, she turns up every week to cart from the sidelines
0:43
But what she doesn't do, she moans about what we had to do in the budget to stabilise the economy
0:50
but she hasn't got the courage to stand there and say that she would reverse the next decisions that we take
0:57
And I know why. It's because she doesn't want to say she's against the £26 billion investment in our NHS
1:04
She doesn't want to say she's against the £1.2 billion more for our police
1:08
She doesn't want to say she's against the £3.2 billion more for our schools
1:13
All the time she doesn't have the courage of her convictions, it shows that her criticism is totally confected
1:21
Mr Speaker I can believe the Prime Minister is still using this figure We had this very conversation at the dispatch box He knows it is just capital spending It either he not paying attention or he is saying things to disguise what is going on
1:34
That money will not pay for the jobs tax. He knows that and the hospices know it too
1:39
And the other people who know that things are getting worse are the five leading business groups in the UK
1:44
They say that his so-called employment rights bill will be deeply damaging to growth
1:50
Does the Prime Minister accept that they are right, or does he believe that he knows better than business
1:58
Prime Minister. Mr Speaker, it's the same old Tories. Every time better rights for workers are on the table, they vote against them
2:06
Respect and dignity and protection at work are good for workers, good for the economy, and good for growth
2:13
Mr Speaker, the Prime Minister needs to listen to business. You cannot have employment rights without employment
2:21
Labour always forgets that it is not government that creates growth, it is business that creates growth
2:28
And businesses are closing and they are blaming him and his Chancellor
2:33
There are 100,000 fewer jobs, Mr Speaker. Hospices, charities, nurseries, they are facing bills for the jobs tax that they cannot afford
2:42
Even the unions say workers are being thrown on the scrap heap. And all of this before his unemployment bill makes hiring even more expensive
2:50
When will he admit that Labour isn't working? Yes
