Is Labour’s fiscal rulebook already cracking?

In this extraordinary House of Commons exchange, Shadow Chief Secretary Richard Fuller MP (North Bedfordshire, Conservative) challenges Treasury Minister James Murray MP over the government’s 2026 growth projections and spending plans.

The result? A forced apology from the Treasury bench.

📌 In this video:
0:00 – The “4.8 billion pipe dream” – industry says it’s unrealistic
0:30 – The three “Ifs” that could collapse Labour’s fiscal rules
0:50 – Heated moment: “He might not have the gall”
1:10 – The Speaker intervenes
1:20 – Minister withdraws his comment and apologises
1:40 – “Unintentionally misleading the House?”

No spin. No shouting. Just the raw exchange from the Commons chamber.
