“The Prime Minister’s claim of pride in the Government’s delivery is being mocked as a joke.”

According to the BBC article on Badenoch accusing Starmer of "giving up" on welfare reform, Sir Keir Starmer stated he was "proud his government had delivered the fastest growing economy in the G7," along with other achievements (reduced immigration, cut asylum backlog, lifted children out of poverty). Badenoch's immediate response was: "I'm glad to see the PM still has a sense of humour given we all know he's losing his job soon." This directly confirms the claim: Badenoch mocked the Prime Minister's expression of pride in government delivery by framing it as a joke — suggesting that only someone with a sense of humour could seriously claim pride in delivery while facing imminent departure from office. The BBC reported this exchange in full, confirming both Starmer's statement of pride in delivery and Badenoch's mocking retort treating it as laughable. The claim accurately characterizes what happened in the parliamentary exchange.
