During a heated PMQs, Keir Starmer took a jab at a Tory minister after he heckled, showcasing the ongoing tensions in UK politics.
London: So, during Prime Minister’s Questions, Keir Starmer really went for it. He didn’t hold back when Tory minister Chris Philp decided to heckle him. It was quite the scene!
The Speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, had to step in and remind Philp to behave. But Starmer shot back, pointing out that Philp was Liz Truss’s right-hand man. Ouch!
Philp was in a pretty high-up position during Truss’s short time as PM. Remember that? It was a wild ride, and not in a good way. Truss’s mini-budget was a disaster that sent the economy into a tailspin.
After just seven weeks, she had to resign. That whole situation really shook things up, and it’s still a hot topic. Starmer’s comments just added fuel to the fire.
Philp, who’s known for his Union Jack accessories, has had his share of blunders too. He even mixed up Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo on TV once. Talk about a slip-up!
It’s clear that tensions are high in UK politics, and moments like these just keep the drama alive. Can’t wait to see what happens next!
