US EditionStarmer hits back at Badenoch's U-turn attack with raunchy joke
Starmer highlighted 33 instances of Conservative policy changes over 14 years, using a Kama Sutra joke to criticize their inconsistency at Prime Minister's Questions.
- On January 14, 2026, Prime Minister Keir Starmer used raunchy humour at PMQs to hit back at a Tory challenge, invoking the Kama Sutra to lampoon Conservative inconsistency amid a digital ID worker-registration scheme U-turn.
- Starmer argued the Conservatives' 14-year record undermined their complaint about consistency, citing five prime ministers, six chancellors, eight home secretaries, and sixteen housing ministers as evidence.
- Historically, the Kama Sutra jibe has circulated across parties, most recently used by Lucy Powell, Labour's deputy leader, last July who said, `In 14 years they have had more positions than the Kama Sutra`.
- Badenoch pressed Starmer on the reversal, labelling the digital ID worker-registration scheme a 'rubbish policy', while Starmer replied the Conservatives left the country 'screwed'.
- The joke's sexual reference—the Kama Sutra, an ancient Hindu guide on sex positions and love—makes its Commons use notable and divisive, with MPs and peers including Sir Iain Duncan Smith, William Hague, and Sir Nick Clegg repeatedly using it.
