Kemi Badenoch suggested Sir Keir Starmer should resign during a fiery exchange at Prime Minister’s Questions after 2.7million people backed a petition calling for a fresh general election.
During the astonishing PMQs battle, the Conservative leader blasted Labour for “making everything worse” with its tax and spend plans.
After Sir Keir began asking whether the Tories would reverse his National Insurance hike, Ms Badenoch shot back: “If he wants to know what Conservatives would do, he should resign and find out.”
Referencing the viral petition, she added: “There’s a petition out there, two million people asking for him to go. He’s the one who doesn’t know how things work.
“It’s not governments who create growth, it’s business.”
The PM retorted that the Tories “haven’t got a clue what they’re doing”.
