Kemi Badenoch had plenty to work with at Prime Minister’s Questions today. She opened with the departure of the head of the Office for Budget Responsibility, as it allowed her to suggest that Starmer was dodging taking responsibility himself. She asked: ‘Does the prime minister believe that when an organisation descends into total shambles, the person at the top should resign?’

Starmer replied that he was ‘very proud to lead this party at the budget last week’, listing the positive announcements on the NHS, energy bills and so on, before adding: ‘We’re fixing the mess that they left, and I’m very proud to be doing so’.
