NEW Tory leader Kemi Badenoch made a blundering Commons debut yesterday, twice tripping herself up at Prime Minister’s Questions.
Confronting Sir Keir Starmer, she claimed that last week’s Budget had failed to mention defence spending, when in fact it did — repeatedly.
Ms Badenoch also criticised the Prime Minister for his “scripted answers” when she was herself clearly reading out her questions from a prepared text, a matter of public indifference but fatal in the Commons bear pit.
