Sir Keir Starmer has sidestepped calls to repeat Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ pledge of no more borrowing or tax rises following the Budget.

The Prime Minister said he was “not going to write the next five years of budgets” at the despatch box in the House of Commons when challenged by Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch.
