Keep up, Kemi. Labour performed their U-turn two weeks ago - and it wasn't because of you

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. A level of success to which Kemi Badenoch can only aspire right now. We've reached the point where her having a decent stab at approximating some intelligent questions goes down as an unmitigated triumph. Not that it really matters any more.

To care about the Tory leader's performances at prime minister's questions is to commit a category error. She has become an irrelevance both to Labour and her own MPs. Possibly even to herself.

Two weeks ago, Kemi Kaze failed to notice that Keir Starmer had already U-turned on the winter fuel allowance and repeatedly asked him when he was going to U-turn. Not her finest hour. Some of her frontbench colleagues were almost in tears. Though Robert Jenrick was crying with laughter.

At yesterday's PMQs Kemi was back asking about the fuel allowance again. For reasons best known to herself, she has got it into her head that the only reason Starmer backtracked was down to her demanding that he did a fortnight previously.

It hasn't occurred to her that public opinion and some extremely grumpy Labour MPs might have been rather more prominent in Keir's mind.
