Watch: Farage attacks ‘two tier’ Keir at PMQs

With two months to go until his successor takes over, Rishi Sunak only has a handful of PMQs sessions left. But never fear: with the end of the Starmer/Sunak show comes a new leading man in the latter’s place. Nigel Farage – the man who loves to claim he’s the real ‘Leader of the Opposition’ – today got a chance to put that assertion to the test. He faced off against Sir Keir in the Commons as the Reform leader was called by Speaker Hoyle to ask his first question of the new Prime Minister.

In typical Farage style he didn’t disappoint, asking Starmer the following:

Yesterday we witnessed some extraordinary celebratory scenes outside Britain’s prisons where, in some cases, serious career criminals were released. And this to make way for, yes, rioters, but equally, those who have said unpleasant things on Facebook and elsewhere on social media. Does the Prime Minister understand that there is a growing feeling of anger in this country that we are living through two-tier policing and a two-tier justice system?

Cue the predictable Labour chorus of groans and jeers.
