Leader of the UK Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, has described Keir Starmer as “a terrible Prime Minister,” following his resignation as Labour leader and Prime Minister.
Starmer announced his resignation on Monday after less than two years in office, saying he would step down as Labour leader while remaining prime minister until a successor is elected.
Reacting in a post on X, Badenoch blamed Starmer’s administration for what she described as a series of policy failures, insisting Britain was “not ungovernable.”
She accused the Labour government of increasing National Insurance contributions, introducing what she called the “Family Farm Tax,” abandoning meaningful welfare reforms, underfunding defence, failing to expand domestic oil and gas production, and appointing Peter Mandelson before allegedly misleading the public about the circumstances.
Hiking national insurance. The Family Farm Tax. Giving up on real welfare reform. Not funding our defence. Not drilling our own oil and gas. Appointing Peter Mandelson… then lying about what had happened.
“Britain is not ungovernable. Keir Starmer is a terrible Prime Minister,” she wrote.
