Be thankful for small mercies. At Wednesday’s prime minister’s questions we were spared the spectacle of Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch competing over who could sound tougher on foreigners. That would have been a squalid death match.
But both leaders appeared to have sated their blood lust for the time being. Keir lost in a half world where his policies were a lot less unpleasant than his language. Kemi just lost. All she knows is that her rock bottom is a lot lower than the government. Not that anyone’s planning to give her the chance.
