During a recent newscast, Labour leader Keir Starmer accused Chancellor Rishi Sunak of lying during Tuesday's debate. Starmer claimed that Sunak had made false statements during the debate, although he did not provide specific details about what Sunak had allegedly lied about. The accusation adds to the ongoing political tensions between the Labour Party and the Conservative government, as both parties continue to clash over various issues and policies. Sunak has not yet responded to Starmer's accusation.

The Trades Union Congress has issued a warning to the Labour party, stating that a failure to increase public sector pay could lead to strikes. The president of the TUC, Matt Wrack, who also heads the Fire Brigades Union, emphasized the importance of not enforcing tight pay settlements for public sector workers. This warning comes amidst financial pressures facing Rachel Reeves, who may become chancellor if Labour wins the election. Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, recently stated that his party would not meet the 35% pay rise demand from junior doctors. The TUC's message highlights the potential consequences of not addressing public sector pay concerns.
