In a festive joke aimed at the Prime Minister, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch declared Keir Starmer “doesn’t have the baubles” to ban the doctors strikes, adding: “All Labour MPs want for Christmas is a new leader.”

Speaking in the House of Commons, Mrs Badenoch swiped: “If course he’s not going to ban doctor strikes, he doesn’t have the baubles.

“The trade unions didn’t just buy him for Christmas, they bought him for life, and this matters for all those people out there facing a difficult new year.

“The Prime Minister has lost control. It’s not the levers that don’t work, it’s him. He’s breaking every promise he has made, he promised to bring down unemployment, it’s up. He promised he wouldn’t increase taxes, he promised to end the doctors strike, they’re on strike again.

“Mr Speaker, he said his main mission was economic growth. But the economy is shrinking with a year like that. Is it any surprise that all his MPs want for Christmas is a new leader?”
