Order! Order!

Hello, I'm Sean Curran, and this is today in Parliament from BBC Radio 4,

for Wednesday the 19th of November,

when the Conservative leader, Kemmy Badenock, said next week's budget was already unravelling.

The Prime Minister needs to end this shambles.

So can he confirm today that he won't break another promise by freezing income tax thresholds?

Secere Stama refuses to rule out the change.

It'll be a labour budget, Mr Speaker, with labour values.

That means we will concentrate on cutting NHS waiting lists,

cutting debt and cutting the cost of living.

And a plea to reduce the stigma surrounding the biggest killer of men aged under 50.

Suicide will impact almost everyone in this room and across the country in one way or another.

The Prime Minister has refused to rule out freezing income tax thresholds in next week's budget,

a move that would see more people paying tax or higher taxes as their wages rise.

Secere Starma was challenged about the government's plans

by the Conservative leader Kemi Beidinoch,

following reports last week

that heavily trailed plans for increases in income tax rates

had been dropped.

Can the Prime Minister tell us

why his government is the first government in history
