Andy Burnham responds to Kemi Badenoch’s ‘t-shirt and a pair of eyelashes’ PMQs jab

Andy Burnham has responded to Kemi Badenoch after she described him as a “pair of eyelashes and a black T-shirt”.

During a fiery Prime Minister's Questions, the Conservative leader took several swipes at the outgoing Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and his party.

“They have abandoned him and what for? A pair of eyelashes and a black T-shirt,” said Badenoch on Wednesday.

In a video response posted hours later, the MP for Makerfield donned a T-shirt as he batted his eyelashes at the camera and clarified “it’s dark blue, actually”.
