Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch launched a sharp assault on Prime Minister Keir Starmer during a heated Prime Minister’s Questions on January 14, 2026, accusing Labour of repeated policy U-turns. Badenoch questioned Starmer’s credibility on NHS leadership, farmers’ inheritance tax changes, and the sudden abandonment of mandatory digital ID checks.
She argued the reversals showed weak governance and uncertainty at the top. Starmer defended the shifts as listening to concerns, but critics said he appeared on the back foot, as Badenoch framed Labour’s resets as evidence of a government struggling to hold a clear line.
