Starmer and Badenoch Clash Amid Economic Turmoil

Kemi Badenoch is set to challenge Prime Minister Keir Starmer during Prime Minister's Questions, focusing on the recent resignation of Treasury minister Tulip Siddiq amid allegations concerning properties linked to her aunt, Sheikh Hasina, the former Bangladeshi prime minister, who is under a corruption probe. Starmer's government faces criticism for its economic management, with the UK's financial markets in turmoil and a slumping pound. Additionally, Badenoch may address Labour's controversial decision to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. Despite these challenges, Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves received some respite with a slight decrease in inflation. The session is poised to be a contentious exchange as both leaders grapple with significant political and economic issues.
