Penny Mordaunt says Keir Starmer has 'zero balls' like Beach Ken

Penny Mordaunt said Keir Starmer has 'zero balls' today as she compared him to Beach Ken from this summer's hit Barbie movie.

The Commons Leader launched the barb at the Labour leader after he described Rishi Sunak as 'inaction man' at PMQs yesterday.

At business questions in the House this morning, Ms Mordaunt told her Opposition counterpart Lucy Powell she wanted to stick with the topic of popular children's toys.

'She echoes the hilarious gag the Leader of the Opposition made yesterday to attempt to insult the Prime Minister by comparing him to a popular children's figurine. I am happy to focus on that,' Ms Mordaunt said.

'I don't think that line will survive contact with the Prime Minister's work rate, but let me rise to the bait and return the serve, because I think the Labour leader is Beach Ken.
