Badenoch blasts Starmer as a ‘man not in control’ during heated PMQs clash
Kemi Badenoch has blasted Sir Keir Starmer as a “man who is not in control” during a fiery Prime Minister’s Questions exchange on Wednesday (29 April). The Conservative leader claimed that she saw the Prime Minister “punch the speaker’s chair” following a heated conversation with Sir Lindsay Hoyle earlier this month. “This is not a man who is in control,” she said, before accusing Sir Keir of “broken promises on taxes, U-turn after U-turn after U-turn”. The prime minister responded by making a jab at Ms Badenoch’s party losing MPs. “It’s now even smaller than when she started as leader”.
