SAVAGE Sir Keir Starmer today warned Kemi Badenoch her career could end up like that of the tragic failed ex-PM, Liz Truss.

In a scathing session of PMQs, Sir Keir compared Ms Badenoch to a fraying vegetable after she accused him of being a "lawyer not a leader".

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch was on the receiving end of a scathing rant by the PM

In a packed out Commons, the PM responded: “She’s not a lawyer, she’s not a leader, if she keeps going like this, she’s going to be the next lettuce."

The crunchy green metaphor shot to fame in October 2022 as social media users watched a live lettuce outlive Ms Truss' time in No10.

Sir Keir became riled up after Ms Badenoch slammed Labour's controversial Employment Rights Bill.

The Tory chief argued the legislation would allow workers to take their boss to an employment tribunal on day one of the job.

Ms Badenoch said: "Let's talk about this employment Bill. Part one of the Bill means a new employee can start a new job in the morning and take their employer to a tribunal that afternoon.

"It is no wonder that this Bill has been called an adventure playground for lawyers.

"This Bill is terrible for business, but it is great employment for lawyers.

"I know the Prime Minister loves the legal profession, but he needs to stop being a lawyer and start being a leader. This is another measure in the Bill that fails his growth test.

"Will he show some leadership and drop it?".

Responding, Sir Keir accused Ms Badenoch of talking "complete nonsense".

He told hundreds of MPs: "She knows that anybody that understands anything about the Bill or any employment law will know you can't start in the morning and go to the tribunal in the afternoon.

"Now, we know she is not a lawyer, she is clearly not a leader, if she keeps on like this, she is going to be the next lettuce."
