Britain’s prime minister has come under renewed criticism after making a provocative remark in parliament, saying the opposition “had more positions than the Kama Sutra” and had “left the country screwed.” The comments were made during a heated exchange as lawmakers debated the government’s latest policy reversal.
Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch responded sharply, accusing the prime minister of lacking credibility and leadership. She said repeated U-turns were damaging public trust and undermining confidence in government decision-making.
00:08Mr. Speaker, can I start by condemning, in the strongest possible terms, the sickening repression and murder of protesters in Iran.
00:18The contrast between the courage of the Iranian people and the brutality of their desperate regime has never been clearer.
00:26Mr. Speaker, we've called out this brutality face to face.
00:30We're working with allies on further sanctions and doing all we can to protect UK nationals.
00:36I was frankly appalled to hear that the Labour Member of Parliament for Bristol North East was prevented from visiting a school in his constituency because he is Jewish.
00:48This is anti-Semitism and it is happening in plain sight.
00:52With all due respect to the Prime Minister, I don't want to know how he feels about this.
00:57I want to know what he's going to do about it.
01:00Prime Minister, can I start by thanking him for raising this case because it is very serious, very concerning, and all Members of Parliament should be able to visit anywhere in their constituency, schools or other places, without any fear of anti-Semitism.
01:16We do take this seriously.
01:17We're providing more funding for security and support we're putting in across the country, and we will be holding those to account who prevented this visit to this school.
01:27Mr. Speaker, can I welcome the Prime Minister's latest U-turn?
01:31I feel like I say that every week.
01:34Mandatory digital ID was a rubbish policy, and we on this side of the House are glad to see the back of it.
01:40But yesterday, the Health Secretary said the Prime Minister's New Year's resolution should be, and I quote,
01:48to try to get it right first time.
01:51To try to get it right first time.
01:57To try to get it right first time.
01:59Yes, you did say that.
02:04You did say that.
02:06My question is, does he agree?
02:09Prime Minister.
02:10Mr. Speaker, I'm determined to make it harder for people to work illegally in this country.
02:15And that's why there will be checks, they will be digital, and they will be mandatory.
02:19And I'll tell them what this government is doing, whether on planning, child poverty, employment rights, investing in our NHS,
02:27we're taking the right choices for Britain, and they oppose every single one of them.
02:32And she talks about U-turns and consistency.
02:35From the party that used to recognise the challenge of climate change, and now they run from it.
02:41Who promised to cut immigration, but then lost control of it.
02:44Who once took great pride in our diversity, now they talk of deporting our neighbours to achieve cultural coherence.
02:53And, Mr. Speaker, on consistency, don't get me started on five Prime Ministers, six Chancellors, eight Home Secretaries, 16 Housing Ministers.
03:05They had more positions in 14 years than the Kama Sutra.
03:09No wonder they're knackered, and they left the country screwed.
03:14No wonder they've morphed over it in 10 years.
