Headmistress Kemi Badenoch gives Keir Starmer a big fat fail

Kemi Badenoch gave Keir Starmer a big fat FAIL as she marked his school report card in a rather public dressing down.

Taking a red pen to the Prime Minister’s plans to shake-up education, she warned he will “vandalise” your local school and wreck your children’s learning.

It was headmistressy stuff from the Tory leader, leaving the PM floundering for excuses in another PMQs dust-up.

She is proud of the ’ record on education in England and Sir Keir struggled to land a blow.

It wasn’t that long ago that “Education, education, education” was at the heart of Labour’s pitch to the British public.

But sounding more and more like bunged-up Michael Caine, the Labour leader could only muster his tired mantra that he wants to “fix that mess” left by the .

By and large it was a pretty forgettable prime minister’s question time.

Sir Keir attempted a couple of gags, telling MPs it was time his opposite number “popped off” social media and swiping at shadow home secretary Chris Philip for being Liz Truss’s righthand man.

But it was all rather dispiriting.

By this time even David Lammy, the Foreign Secretary, had had enough and left the chamber to Tory jeers.

Jenny, Lib Dem MP Steve Darling’s guide dog, had the right idea, lolling on the floor half asleep.
