Overview

• Kemi Badenoch focused her PMQs challenge on a court ruling allowing a Palestinian family to settle in the UK under the Ukraine migration scheme, accusing Keir Starmer of prioritizing international law over national interests.
• Starmer countered by pointing out that the decision was made under the previous Conservative government and confirmed that the Home Secretary is reviewing the legal loophole involved.
• Badenoch criticized Attorney General Richard Hermer's past as a human rights lawyer and questioned his alignment with national values, but Starmer defended Hermer and the principle of legal representation.
• A question about the UK’s borders inspector working remotely from Finland backfired on Badenoch, as Starmer clarified the appointment was made under the Conservative government and is being addressed by Labour.
• Starmer maintained composure throughout, leveraging his preparation to highlight Conservative mismanagement of immigration, while Badenoch struggled to land significant blows.
