PMQs review: Badenoch keeps letting Starmer win

Kemi Badenoch tried to box in the government by goading Keir Starmer to rule out further tax rises.

The PM must have known that he was going to have to go on the offence today .

He used the line anyway, sharpened with today ’s unexpectedly positive news that inflation is down.

Badenoch faced some audible heckles cries of your fault’ when she pointed out that borrowing costs were at a 27-year high.

The Tory leader had some good ammunition but seemed unprepared for the force of the defence.

Her final question was such a mish-mash of topics that Starmer laughingly brushed off as a “barrage of complete nonsense”.
