PMQs LIVE: Kemi eviscerates Starmer as 'too weak to get anything done!'

Keir Starmer was slammed as "too weak to get anything done" by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch following his humiliating u-turn over benefit cuts when he suffered his largest Commons rebellion to date.

Mrs Badenoch said the Prime Minister's welfare bill "will do nothing" while spending on benefits rises to £100 billion, as she skewered Sir Keir during PMQs in the Commons.

She said "his Bill was completely gutted" following a massive rebellion by backbenchers - which meant 49 of his own MPs rejected the change even after cuts to Personal Independence Payments were removed. And in a sarcastic remark, she said: "It's been a difficult week for the Prime Minister".

Mrs Badenoch said Chancellor Rachel Reeves "looks absolutely miserable", adding: "The Chancellor is toast".

Even Speaker Lindsay Hoyle got in on the act, as Labour MPs put on a desperate show of support for the Prime Minister. He said sarcastically: "I've never known one Prime Minister get as much cheering".

Last night Kemi Badenoch told the Express: "He may have been ready for an election. He was not ready for government. They made promises and they've broken them because they don't know how to run this country. Whether it's on welfare, grooming gangs, small boats, all of the promises that Labour made are broken, and we've still got four more years of this - this is just the first year."

Sir Keir has missed the last two bouts against the Tory leader because he attended the G7 and Nato summits abroad.
