Last week, Julia Lopez, the Member of Parliament for the Hornchurch & Upminster constituency, appeared on Question Time to discuss the week's events.
She commented:
Thank you to BBC Question Time for having me on for the first time last week. Debate dominated, naturally, by PM’s future. But it’s all set in the context of so many other terrible decisions by Starmer's gov. The incentive structure in this country is now all wrong. Decent people, doing everything asked of them, are wondering why they bother. You cannot sustain a country like that. Labour has used two Budgets to increase tax by £66bn as the welfare budget balloons. It is undermining the very legitimacy of the state.
