'Doesn't know what a woman is!' Sunak accuses Stamer of 'not getting Britain's values' in fiery PMQs clash

Starmer told the Commons: "The Prime Minister has had quite a week. From endlessly fighting with his own MPs to collapsing in laughter when he was asked by a member of the public about NHS waiting lists.”

After loud protest from the Tory benches, he continued: “I love quaint tradition where the more they slag him off behind his back the (louder) they cheer in here.”

He accused Sunak of having “accidentally” recorded a “candid video for Nigel Farage”, adding: “The only thing missing from that punishing schedule is any sort of governing or leadership. So was he surprised to see one of his own MPs say that he doesn’t get what Britain needs and he’s not listening to what people want?”

But Sunak responded: “He talks about what Britain needs, what Britain wants, what Britain values. This from a man who takes the knee, who wanted to abolish the monarchy, who still doesn’t know what a woman is, and who just this week, one of his frontbenchers, said that they backed teaching divisive white privilege in our schools.

“Looking at his record, it’s crystal clear which one of us doesn’t get Britain’s values.”

Starmer hit back: “He spouts so much nonsense no wonder they are giving up on him.”

He accused the Prime Minister of insisting “everything is fine, people should be grateful to him".

The Labour leader added: “The trouble is no one is buying it. Does he actually understand why his own MPs say he doesn’t understand Britain and that he is an obstacle to recovery?”

Sunak replied: “He calls it nonsense but these are his positions… he chose to represent a now proscribed terrorist group, he chose to campaign against the deportation of foreign national offenders, just like he chose to serve (Jeremy Corbyn).

“That’s his record, those are his values, and that is exactly how he should be judged.”

The same PMQs saw Starmer accuse the Prime Minister of "constant farcical incompetence".

He suggested the party's free childcare policy was a "complete s***show".

The Labour leader said: "Families are struggling with the cost of living crisis, trying to work out the household budget, balancing spiralling mortgages, prices and eyewatering bills. and then at the last minute, they are thrown into chaos because their nursery says they can't deliver the free childcare he promised.

"Now he calls that a practical issue, but I preferred the honesty of whichever of his colleagues briefed to the Times that it was, and I quote, "a complete s***show". Who was it who briefed that to the Times? Hands up?"

He added: "Will the Prime Minister finally realise that the biggest practical issue facing Britain is the constant farcical incompetence of the government that he leads."
