🗣️ In a fiery session at Prime Minister’s Questions, Kemi Badenoch branded Sir Keir Starmer as “too arrogant to admit he got things wrong.” She called out Labour on issues ranging from borrowing costs to unemployment, sparking a lively debate in the Commons!
Badenoch didn’t hold back, suggesting that the Labour government is responsible for a crisis that’s affecting the nation and that Sir Keir’s choices are hurting real people. She highlighted recent issues with deputy PM Angela Rayner on stamp duty to question Labour’s governance. Starmer, however, hit back, accusing the Tories of failing during their time in power and defending Labour’s economic strategies, pointing to job creation figures and high growth in the G7.
The exchange saw Badenoch question Labour’s tax strategies, implying delays on the budget announcement could hurt the economy. She also criticised Starmer’s frequent changes in plans, suggesting the PM has no clear direction. In response, Starmer argued Labour is busy cleaning up the mess left by the previous government, accusing them of economic mismanagement.
Both sides pulled no punches, alleging each other’s incompetence while claiming credit for job creation and economic growth. The session paints a picture of a deeply divided political landscape, with both parties staking their positions ahead of the budget announcement set for later this year.
