Kemi Badenoch praises Starmer at his last PMQs; Burnham declares war on 'cover-up culture'
UK politics: Outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer received compliments from his usually combative rival Kemi Badenoch during his final Prime Minister's Questions, while MP Andy Burnham announced new legislation.
Keir Starmer's final Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) session in the UK Parliament saw unexpected compliments from his usual opponent Kemi Badenoch. She said five nice things about Starmer, who is set to step down on Monday. Badenoch, typically a combative rival, offered friendly remarks.
Starmer is not the first British prime minister to enter the bizarre spectacle of a Commons grilling knowing it is the last time. Historically, several PMs have experienced similar farewell sessions.
Meanwhile, MP Andy Burnham, who is to become British prime minister on Monday, declared war on 'cover-up culture' in his first parliamentary speech since representing Makerfield constituency. He pledged new legislation that will pass power to the people, emphasizing transparency and a shift in how power is exercised.
