Whatever other problems Keir Starmer’s Government may have right now, facing an effective leader of the opposition certainly isn’t one of them.
Kemi Badenoch’s dire performance at today’s Prime Minister’s Questions, in which she failed to explain her shambolic U-turn on wanting the UK to join the Iran war, while seeking to blame Starmer for the rising fuel prices that war has caused, handed the Prime Minister yet another easy victory.
However, it was the performance of her spokesman after the session that really summed up quite how badly she is now doing as leader of the Conservative Party.
