Kemi Badenoch has slammed Keir Starmer as “a terrible Prime Minister” following his resignation, blaming Labour’s policies rather than the country itself for Britain’s struggles.
No grace period here. Within hours of Starmer’s resignation, Kemi Badenoch was out swinging, calling him “a terrible Prime Minister” in a blistering post on X, Punch reports.
Her charge sheet: hiked National Insurance, stalled welfare reform, underfunded defence, no domestic oil and gas drilling, and the messy Peter Mandelson appointment. But Badenoch didn’t stop at Starmer — she argued the rot runs deeper, claiming Labour MPs are addicted to higher taxes and bigger welfare spending no matter who’s in charge.
Her closing line doubled as a campaign pitch: Britain isn’t ungovernable, she insisted — it just needs the Conservatives back at the wheel to “get Britain working again.”
