“NOWHERE LEFT TO HIDE!” Patrick Christys’ On-Air Attack ROCKS 𝘒𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳

𝘒𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳 HUMILIATED AT PMQs AS HE FAILS TO ANSWER BASIC QUESTIONS — AND EVEN HIS OWN PARTY NOW CALL HIM A ‘CARETAKER PM’

Sir 𝘒𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳 endured one of his bleakest Prime Minister’s Questions to date as he repeatedly failed to answer the most basic questions on energy bills, teachers, police numbers and the NHS — prompting fresh claims that he has already lost control of his party.

In a bruising Commons showdown, Kemi Badenoch mocked the Prime Minister as a “caretaker”, forcing him to be told — on the floor of the House — what the label actually meant: a leader so weakened that everyone else is already plotting his replacement.

And as the session unravelled, it became painfully clear that Starmer could not give a straight answer to almost anything.

Energy bills were first. Labour had promised to cut household costs by £300. Badenoch asked the obvious question: how much have bills fallen since the election?

Starmer claimed families were £150 better off.

They are not.

In fact, energy bills have risen by £187 — a point Badenoch coolly corrected as the Prime Minister floundered. As Patrick Christys later put it on GB News, “He could power the national grid with the amount of hot air he produced today.”

Education was no safer ground. Labour pledged to recruit 6,500 more teachers. Starmer insisted there were “loads more”.

Again, wrong.

There are now 400 fewer teachers than when Labour took office — a figure published on the Department for Education’s own website. “Does she not check it once in a while?” Badenoch asked, as Starmer stared down at his despatch box.

Police numbers followed. Labour promised 13,000 more officers. The reality? There are 1,300 fewer police officers than at the election.

The NHS question proved even more damaging. Asked how many appointments had been lost to strike action since July, Starmer refused to answer — instead boasting about extra appointments delivered.

But the figure he avoided was stark: 93,000 appointments lost since doctors were handed a major pay rise.

By the end of the exchange, the picture was grim. Jobs down. Bills up. Fewer police. Fewer teachers. And a Prime Minister apparently unaware — or unwilling to admit — what is happening on his watch.

“Everything is getting worse under Labour,” Badenoch concluded. “Isn’t it time the Prime Minister admits it?”

Patrick Christys was even more blunt. “This is a Prime Minister who can’t even lie straight in bed,” he said. “He doesn’t know what’s happening in energy, education, policing or the NHS. And now even his Chancellor has stitched him up.”

Because just hours earlier, Rachel Reeves appeared to confirm that Starmer personally signed off every tax rise in the Budget — tying his political fate firmly to hers.

As one panellist observed, Reeves’ message was clear: if she goes, he goes too.

The final humiliation? Labour now insisting that simply asserting success makes it real. “They just claim there are more teachers and police,” Christys said, “as if saying it out loud will magically make it true.”

Once, PMQs was the one place Starmer looked comfortable. That illusion is gone.

With his own MPs whispering, his Chancellor locking him in, and his opponents landing blow after blow, the Prime Minister is running out of places to hide.

And increasingly, the question is no longer if 𝘒𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳 leadership is failing — but how long it can last.
