Watched on by The Who legend Roger Daltrey, the Tory leader gave Keir Starmer a proper ear-bashing at the despatch box.

In her best outing yet, she had the Prime Minister squirming over Labour’s tax promises and accused him of ruining the economy.

The 80-year-old rocker loved it, laughing and grinning as the opposition leader pinned Starmer over and over again.

She first lashed out after the PM refused to say that taxes will not rise again despite Rachel Reeves making the pledge to business.

Mocking his repeated excuses for hiking taxes in the Budget she accused Sir Keir of “making everything worse” rather than “fixing foundations”.

And then she goaded Sir Keir over millions of Brits signing a petition demanding a fresh general election.

Sir Keir was forced to hail Labour’s large majority from this year’s general election as he dismissed Ms Badenoch’s calls for him to step down.

But the barrage didn’t stop there for the Labour leader who was then ambushed by the SNP’s Stephen Flynn.

Referring to anti-scam awareness week, the party’s Westminster leader said “if you see a scam, you should report it” as he asked the Prime Minister if he is aware “of anyone who promised to protect pensioners only to pick their pockets”.

Daltrey loved this, clapping along with fellow guests, before getting an angry rebuke from Speaker Lindsay Hoyle who barked “no clapping in the chamber”.

It’s hardly smashing-up your guitar on stage or trashing hotel rooms but rules are rules I guess.

The singer, who was meetingMs Badenoch to talk about the teenage cancer trust and the impact of the government’s national insurance increase on charities, then hastily left the public gallery.
