Keir Starmer held his final weekly PM briefing on Wednesday as Kemi Badenoch took frontline attack role for the Conservatives.
Starmer’s exchanges were laced with light-hearted digs. He even drew parallels between himself and footballer Jude Bellingham to underscore his points.
Hours later, Starmer gave his full backing to Andy Burnham as the handover from Number 10 looms.
With Burnham set to replace him, Starmer now faces a major reshaping to reset his leadership team.
Watch for further updates after the weekend session.
