Watch live: Keir Starmer faces Kemi Badenoch at PMQs as his reset Brexit plans suffer another blow

Watch live as Keir Starmer faces Kemi Badenoch at PMQs on Wednesday (4 December) as his reset Brexit plans suffer another blow.

The prime minister looks set to lose another key ally in a blow to his plans to reset the UK’s post-Brexit relationship with the European Union.

Michel Barnier looks likely to be ousted as French prime minister on Wednesday in a no-confidence motion after he pushed through a controversial budget without a vote.

If passed, it will bring down the government and force Mr Barnier’s resignation after less than three months on the job.

Wednesday’s head-to-head also comes as a report revealed UK interest rates will fall by less than expected over the next two years after the autumn Budget’s significant spending and borrowing plans.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said UK inflation will also surpass previous forecasts next year, with a headline inflation of 2.7 per cent for next year.
