‘400 Knives in the Back’: Badenoch Slams Labour’s Public Cheers for Starmer

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has accused Labour MPs of publicly praising Keir Starmer in the House of Commons while secretly undermining him. She claimed they had “stabbed him with 400 knives” despite applauding his performance at Prime Minister’s Questions. Badenoch argued that Starmer’s own team had let him down. She singled out an Energy Secretary “killing industry,” a Chancellor “killing jobs,” and backbenchers unwilling to back tough decisions. She warned that Labour’s problems ran deeper than any single leader. Her criticism seeks to highlight internal divisions in the governing party and suggests that a leadership change alone would not fix Labour’s policy failures or loss of unity.
