Keir Starmer LIVE: Prime Minister pledges finish to ‘free for all’ on shoplifting forward of key Mandelson determination

Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds has accused the Tories of playing “silly political games”.

She told Sky News: “Ten days ago we had Kemi Badenoch and other members of the opposition saying that the Prime Minister deliberately misled parliament.

“He didn’t, and that was categorically proven last week, and they’ve accepted that. He has not lied to Parliament.

“So I do think that the Opposition – guess what, 10 days out from local elections and important elections in Scotland and Wales – are playing silly political games when we should be talking about the big issues at stake in the country here.”
