The article from Politico EU discusses the recent Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) session where Labour leader Keir Starmer was seen as the clear winner in his exchanges with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Starmer effectively criticized the government's handling of the economy, particularly focusing on the rising mortgage rates and the cost of living crisis, which he linked to the Conservative Party's policies. He also highlighted the government's failure to address these issues adequately, using the example of Kemi Badenoch, the Business Secretary, who was involved in a controversy over a petition against her. Badenoch had dismissed the petition, which accused her of lying to Parliament, as "nonsense," but this only served to underscore the internal and public discontent with the Conservative leadership. Starmer's performance was described as "bang on," suggesting he successfully capitalized on the government's vulnerabilities, portraying the Conservatives as out of touch with the public's economic struggles.
