The pm vowed to use this moment to fix longstanding economic problems and promised a £5 billion new deal to build homes and infrastructure. It was also confirmed that the chancellor would deliver an economic update onjuly 8. Critics argued there was little new in the plans or the funding. At pmqs, the labour leader reckoned there had been one striking line in borisjohnsons speech. The Prime Minister said, we know that the jobs many people had injanuary are not coming back. I fear that this is the equivalent line to the line in the Prime Ministers speech of march 12, when he said, i must level with you. Many more families are going to lose loved ones before their time. And we know what happened next. Thats why there needs to be a laser like focus on protecting jobs. So how manyjobs does the Prime Minister think yesterdays announcement will protect . Mr speaker, i think he first of all might pay tribute to the work of this government in protecting 11 million jobs throughout this crisis.
