  • Kemi Badenoch accused Sir Keir Starmer of having a "brass neck" regarding his welfare bill during a House of Commons session on Wednesday, July 2, 2025.
  • Badenoch stated that the proposed legislation would "achieve nothing" and was a "pointless waste of time," indicating Starmer lacked a clear plan.
  • Sir Keir Starmer reportedly laughed off a comment from the Prime Minister suggesting Labour was cleaning up a mess made by the Conservatives.
  • The welfare bill, which includes changes to personal independence payment (PIP) and the health-related element of universal credit, successfully passed its second reading on Tuesday evening.
