QUENTIN LETTS on PMQs: Sir Keir Starmer steamed into the Commons, buttocks like two halves of a walnut

Daily Mail  

Sir Keir Starmer was scathingly peevish at PMQs. She meant three London human-rights lawyers: Sir Keir, his attorney general Lord ‘Hapless’ Hermer and their friend Philippe Sands KC, who has represented Mauritius. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer speaks at the despatch box at Prime Minister's Questions Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch said the Chagos deal was ‘an immoral surrender' Referring to Sir Keir as ‘this man’ who ‘bends the knee to anyone who asks him’, she ventured that he was ‘so weak and waffly, it’s no wonder he needs a voice coach’. Sir Keir curtly replied that Labour was ‘stabilising the economy and boosting jobs’, claims that might not pass muster with those fact-checkers no longer employed by Facebook. Nigel Farage reacting as he asks a question during the weekly session of Prime Minister's Questions Two former Tory foreign office grandees, James Cleverly and Andrew Mitchell, doubted Sir Keir’s claim about top-secret imperatives for giving away the Chagos Isles.

QUENTIN LETTS on PMQs: Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch clung to each other like two shipwreck survivors

Daily Mail  

Water has stopped lapping against the bows. At PMQs Sir Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch clung to each other like shipwreck survivors. Labour MPs may have cheered Sir Keir’s arrival in the chamber just before midday, for they have an inchoate sense that he is creating a diplomatic personality for himself and that that may be an electoral asset; yet …

These are bumpy days for Lords of the Bedchamber. His lordship is Sir Keir’s oldest chum at the bar and, like Philippe Sands, gave thousands of pounds in political donations to achieve a Starmer government. In her first Budget, Sir Keir’s Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, succeeded only in tilting the economy back towards higher interest payments for working people’s mortgages. Meanwhile …

His poll ratings are diving like a guillemot and the economy has stalled at the traffic lights but Sir Keir Starmer could not have been more delighted with himself. For Starmer KC, it seems, life’s ambition was to sit opposite the prosaic boobies of the liaison committee and be quizzed on the grinding minutiae of his government’s ‘delivery’. Prime Minister …
