The Prime Minister will take questions from the Tory leader after inflation rose 3.5 per cent in September, prompting further speculation that Mr Healey will resort to a multi-billion pound tax raid at his maiden Budget next Wednesday.
Mrs Badenoch is likely to challenge Mr Burnham to cut Britain’s ballooning benefits bill in lieu of raising taxes on working people despite the Prime Minister insisting that he will not make “crude cuts” to disability benefits.
This week’s PMQs also comes after Labour finally approved new drilling for gas in the North Sea, signing off on the Jackdaw project following months of delays.

Mr Trump said the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive programme (Whip) offered rewards of $30,000 (£22,500) to expose alleged government fraud.
Mr Feinberg provoked Mr Trump after questioning why someone would use Whip when an existing centuries-old programme offered a far higher reward.

The establishment Right accuses surging nationalist parties of benefiting from Kremlin disinformation and cash. But Russia’s illegal war has split Europe’s populists into appeasers and opponents of Moscow.
Each of the three most influential party leaders of the new European Right – Ms Le Pen, Giorgia Meloni, the Italian prime minister, and Alice Weidel of AfD – has their own approach to the Putin problem.
Their differences have stopped them from forming a cohesive political bloc to challenge the Europhile centre-Right’s dominance of the EU.

- Civil Servant's have demanded a four-day working week on full pay, 10 per cent pay rise, better pensions, more annual leave and a higher minimum wage than the rest of the country.

On part two of today’s episode of Iran: the Latest, Venetia Rainey speaks to Maysaa Shuja Al-Deen, a Yemeni senior researcher from the Sana’a Center for Strategic Studies, about why the Houthis are so desperate to capture Taiz as a stepping-stone to oil-rich Marib and port city Aden and how it could take just “days” to fall. With around a million people trapped inside and news of food and medicine shortages, a humanitarian disaster is looming and Iran’s proxy group is on the brink of a major victory.
