Kemi Badenoch reeled off a series of climbdowns by Sir Keir Starmer as Tory MPs joined in with shouts of “U-turn”.
She said: “The winter fuel allowance – U-turn. Waspi women – U-turn. The two-child benefit cap – U-turn. Grooming gangs inquiry – U-turn.
“The family farms tax – U-turn. Digital ID – U-turn. Jury trials?”
Mrs Badenoch went on: “We hope so – I think that’s going to be the next one. Week after week, these poor people sitting behind him have to defend the indefensible, only for him to U-turn.”
She then highlighted criticism by Cabinet ministers, with one quoted in the press as saying it was “worth rolling the dice on a new leader”.
The Tory leader added: “They’re right, aren’t they?”
The Prime Minsiter replied: “I changed my party, and that’s why we stand here with a majority Labour Government. She sits there with her party that lost two-thirds of their MPs at the last election and she’s losing more every week.
“They’re queuing up to join the member for Clacton’s (Nigel Farage‘s) laundry service for disgraced Tory politicians. Meanwhile, inflation is down, wages are up and waiting lists are down.”
