Badenoch Calls for Starmer's Resignation at PMQs

During Prime Minister's Questions, Tory leader Kemi Badenoch challenged Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer to resign, referencing an online petition for a general election that has garnered over 2.7 million signatures. Starmer countered by highlighting a significant petition from July 4, asserting that the Labour Party has transitioned from a party of protest to one of governance. He acknowledged that many who did not vote for Labour might desire a new election but emphasized that the electoral system does not permit such a rerun. Additionally, Starmer is set to address an assisted dying bill and a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah, which he described as 'long overdue'. The assisted dying bill is scheduled for debate and a vote on November 29, while MPs are also discussing proposals to restrict cigarette sales to those aged 15 and younger. The political climate remains charged as both leaders navigate these pressing issues.
