Kemi Badenoch mocked Sir Keir Starmer over his latest U-turn as PMQs kicked off. The Tory leader used her first question to grill the Prime Minister on the climbdown over mandatory digital ID to work in Britain, which follows around a dozen other reversals.
She said: “Can I welcome the Prime Minister’s latest U-turn? I feel like I say that every week. Mandatory digital ID was a rubbish policy, and we on this side of the House are glad to see the back of it.”
But Sir Keir replied: “She talks about U-turns and consistency, from the party that used to recognise the challenge of climate change, and now they run from it, who promised to cut immigration, but then lost control of it, who once took great pride in our diversity, now they talk of deporting our neighbours to achieve cultural coherence.
“And on consistency, don’t get me started on five prime ministers, six chancellors, eight home secretaries, 16 housing ministers. They had more positions in 14 years than the Kama Sutra. No wonder they’re knackered and left the country screwed.”
