Keir Starmer has slammed Nigel Farage for “desperately trying to U-turn” on his position on the Iran war.
During Prime Minister’s Questions, the PM accused the Reform UK leader of having “absolutely no judgement, not fit to be Prime Minister” after flip-flopping on his party’s stance on the conflict in the Middle East.
It came after Labour MP Steve Witherden asked the PM about Reform UK’s pledge to rip up Labour’s workers’ rights laws.
The PM said: “I’m very proud of our Employment Rights Act. It delivers strong rights and protections, including for all our brilliant school staff. Reform would rip up those protections. They have nothing to offer but grievance and division.

“And, they have no judgement because just like the Leader of the Opposition, the Member for Clacton, said we should do all we can to support the US strikes. And he said, I make that ‘perfectly, perfectly clear’.
“It was perfectly, perfectly clear he got it completely wrong and perfectly perfect, clear that he’s now desperately trying to U-turn absolutely no judgement, not fit to be Prime Minister.”
