In a dramatic session in Parliament, Reform UK’s MPs were seen erupting into laughter as Labour leader and Prime Minister Keir Starmer faced a scathing critique from Scottish National Party’s Dave Duggan. The heated exchange highlighted growing public outrage over what many are calling the Labour government’s hypocrisy and failure to deliver on pre-election promises.

Dave Duggan did not hold back as he exposed Starmer’s track record of broken commitments. “Before the election, this Prime Minister said he would lower energy bills by £300. Since he took office, they’ve gone up by £49,” Duggan declared, prompting audible chuckles from Reform UK’s benches. He continued, “He said he would protect the winter fuel payment, but now that he’s in power, he’s stripped it from pensioners. And let’s not forget how he lined up for photos with Waspi women, promising to have their backs, only to betray them in the most scandalous way possible.”

Duggan’s remarks struck a chord, as he accused Starmer of being a “one-trick phony Prime Minister who says one thing and does another.” The SNP MP also pointed to Labour’s plummeting popularity in Scotland, where the SNP is now 16 points ahead in the polls. “Does he understand why the people of these islands, especially those of us in Scotland, treat him with such contempt?” Duggan asked, his voice rising in frustration.

The scene in Parliament underscored the growing discontent with the Labour government, which has faced criticism for failing to live up to its lofty pre-election pledges. Reform UK’s MPs, visibly amused by the unfolding drama, seemed to relish the opportunity to highlight Starmer’s struggles.

As the clip of the exchange circulates online, many Britons are echoing Duggan’s sentiments, with some calling the Labour government a betrayal of the people’s trust. Social media has been flooded with reactions, with one user commenting, “It’s hard to take Starmer seriously when he’s all talk and no action.”

The question now is whether Starmer and his party can regain the public’s confidence—or if this moment marks the beginning of a deeper crisis for Labour. As the laughter in Parliament fades, the echoes of discontent among voters only grow louder.
