Sir Keir Starmer has criticised Kemi Badenoch as “unserious” after she claimed his attendance at the G7 and Nato summits helped him avoid Prime Minister’s Questions.

The Prime Minister slapped down Mrs Badenoch’s dismissal of him as “irrelevant” on the global stage as she launched a barbed attack on Sir Keir while he gave a statement on the two international events to the Commons.
