Starmer Mocks Conservatives: 'More Positions Than Kama Sutra' Over Policy U-Turns
- •UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer mocked the Conservative Party for frequent policy U-turns, stating they had "more positions in 14 years than the Kama Sutra."
- •Starmer defended his government's decision to drop mandatory digital ID cards for workers, clarifying that while checks for illegal employment will be mandatory and digital, the specific ID form is flexible.
- •He criticized the previous Conservative government for having five prime ministers, six chancellors, eight home secretaries, and 16 housing ministers in 14 years.
- •The digital ID plan, initially proposed in September last year, faced opposition due to privacy concerns and fears of tracking vaccinations or carbon footprints.
- •Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch welcomed the withdrawal of the "rubbish policy," while Nigel Farage of Reform UK called it a "victory for individual liberty."
Why It Matters: Keir Starmer used a Kama Sutra analogy to mock Conservatives' policy inconsistencies amid a digital ID U-turn.
