‘A desperately sentimental last PMQs’: Why Starmer won’t make the history books

On today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Jacob Rees-Mogg look back at outgoing PM Sir Keir Starmer’s time in office, and discuss whether his impact as a Prime Minister warrants a place in the history books.

Camilla and Jacob analyse a tribute from Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader, to Sir Keir in the Commons as they face off for the final time at the Dispatch Box. Sir Keir, Mrs Badenoch and other party leaders also pay their respects to the late Ann Widdecombe as the investigation into her killing continues.

They also discuss the latest calls from Reform UK’s Zia Yusuf for an increase in IPSA-funded security for MPs in the wake of Miss Widdecombe’s death.
