Kemi Badenoch has lashed out at Keir Starmer’s “ideological” warfare on schools during a lively PMQs (Prime Minister’s Questions).
The Tory leader called for the Prime Minister to make a U-turn after Labour MPs voted against banning phones in schools last week.
Starmer was quick to criticise what he called a decline in educational standards while the previous government was in power.
Badenoch responded: “He’s not answering the question about discipline in schools because he doesn’t care about discipline in schools.
