Kemi Badenoch Faces Keir Starmer at PMQs

News summary

Kemi Badenoch is set to face Sir Keir Starmer for the first time as the new Tory leader during Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs), marking a significant moment for the opposition's strategy. Badenoch, who recently succeeded Rishi Sunak, has made notable shadow cabinet appointments, including Robert Jenrick, Priti Patel, and Mel Stride, aimed at uniting the party's factions. The session comes amidst controversy over the government's new inheritance tax on agricultural assets valued over £1 million, which has drawn criticism from farming unions and opposition MPs. This tax, effective from April 2026, is seen as a threat to family farms, while the government argues it is necessary for financial stability. Additionally, Labour faces backlash for a national insurance increase, despite promises made during the election campaign. Badenoch's confrontational style is expected to contrast with the Prime Minister's approach, potentially shaping the future dynamics of the Commons.
