During a heated exchange, Ms Badenoch lashed out at multiple Labour members, including Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson who she branded a "spiteful class warrior". Ms Phillipson and DWP Secretary Liz Kendall confronted the Tory leader as they passed in the voting division on their way out of PMQs, with Ms Kendall calling out the behaviour. In response, Ms Badenoch is said to have told Ms Phillipson: “I’m never going to stop talking about how spiteful you are.” The fuming Education Secretary - who was allegedly forced to shout her reply as Ms Badenoch walked off - said: “The public are going to find out who you really are.” The opposition leader dismissed Mr Burnham has "a pair of eyelashes and a black T-shirt" in a particularly brutal jibe. It came as she made comment about Labour MPs who had let the PM down.
