PM in festive dig at Reform and Kemi's 'Muppets' show

SIR Keir Starmer used his final Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) appearance this year to attack Reform UK.

He said Tory defections make politics look like the Muppets Christmas Carol. The Prime Minister suggested members of Nigel Farage's party should tell the police "if mysterious men from the East appear bearing gifts", in a festive joke.

Reform UK's former leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, 52, admitted taking bribes to make pro-Russian statements in the European Parliament, where he was originally elected as a UK Independence Party member. He was jailed for 10-and-a-half years.

Sir Keir also said Sarah Pochin, who toppled Labour's majority of more than 14,000 in a Runcorn and Helsby by-election earlier this year, was "clearly dreaming of a White Christmas".
