Sir Keir Starmer has seen the pacifist policies of his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn come back to haunt him during a bruising exchange during the Queen’s Speech debate on Tuesday. Tory MP Graham Stuart was delivering the response of MPs to the Monarch’s speech when he slipped in a jibe at Labour’s previous stance on Britain’s nuclear deterrent which sent the whole house into fits of laughter. 

Mr Stuart told MPs: “Russia’s unprovoked and unjustifiable attack on Ukraine has united the whole of this house in condemnation.

“We stand together with our friends in Ukraine, and I congratulate the Right Honourable gentleman, the leader of the opposition for his party’s wholehearted backing off the measures to support the Ukrainians.
