We’re going to have to rethink the way we do this. Redefine the parameters. It’s usual to think of prime minister’s questions as a moment of jeopardy for No 10. The brief 10 minutes or so each week when the leader of the opposition gets to make life uncomfortable for the prime minister. When we the punters get to imagine how life might be if she were to get her toes inside Downing Street.
Only it no longer works like this. Because ever since Kemi Badenoch was elected leader of the Conservatives, PMQs has become R&R for Keir Starmer. Nor is it just teething problems for KemiKaze. A slow learner easing her way into the job. Rather it’s that she appears to be getting worse by the week. It’s already a horror show for the Tories, so God knows where we will be in a month or so.
