After a tumultuous two weeks for the Prime Minister, not even an Arsenal Premier League win could turn things around for Sir Keir Starmer ahead of his first PMQs since Labour’s devastating local election results.
On Wednesday’s Daily T podcast, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley delve into the fiery exchange in the Commons as Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative Party leader, said his approach to foreign and economic policy was “like the Soviets won”.
Camilla and Tim also look at the Green Party’s newest MP Hannah Spencer’s first question in the Commons, where she criticised her colleagues for “drinking on the job”, and the conveniently planted question for Starmer regarding Reform leader Nigel Farage’s £5m donation from a cryptocurrency billionaire.
Meanwhile, Wes Streeting gave his resignation speech in Parliament, warning that the Prime Minister’s failures will put Farage in power.
