Summary
Keir Starmer is challenged on his Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill at PMQs, with Tory leader Kemi Badenoch branding it "educational vandalism"
She says a number of teachers "are criticising it" and 20,000 are at risk of having their pay cut
The prime minister argues that the wide-ranging legislation contains measures to protect children, and stops abusers from taking children out of school
This bill is midway through clearing the Commons comfortably - but today shows there may be some bumps along the road for Starmer, writes the BBC's Henry Zeffman
Today's session comes days after Axel Rudakubana pleaded guilty to murdering three young girls in a knife attack in Southport last summer

In a post on X, leader of the opposition Kemi Badenoch welcomed Keir Starmer's announcement of a public inquiry - but said "Labour must not use it to hide behind their own failings".
"There remain serious questions about the transparency of government information at the time of the unrest that followed these horrific killings," Badenoch wrote.
"When the Conservatives were trying to toughen the Prevent anti-extremism programme, Starmer and Cooper were running for office on manifestos worried about Prevent ‘alienating communities’."
- For context: After Rudakubana’s guilty pleas, it was revealed that the 18-year-old had been referred to the government’s counter-extremism strategy Prevent three times in the years 2019-21. Starmer said he was unable to reveal this information as he would've been in contempt of court.

British political figures who attended the star-studded event on Monday included former Conservative prime ministers Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, as well as Reform Party leader Nigel Farage, a long-time ally of Trump.
Current Tory MP and former home secretary Suella Braverman was also in DC.
As is usual protocol, the UK government was represented by outgoing ambassador Dame Karen Pierce, while Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy are expected to fly to Washington to meet Trump soon.

Image source, PA MediaHello, you join us for this week's instalment of Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) where Keir Starmer is due to be grilled by Tory leader Kemi Badenoch from midday.
In the last few days, the PM has been accused of a cover up over what he knew about Axel Rudakubana, who pleaded guilty to murdering three girls in Southport last July - the murders that sparked riots across the UK.
It emerged that Rudakubana had been referred to the government’s counter-extremism scheme, Prevent, three times. But the PM said he could not reveal this information because he'd be in contempt of court - i.e., it could have stopped Rudakubana getting a fair trial.
Meanwhile, the government's under pressure over the economy - something Badenoch has often questioned him about in PMQs. Government borrowing rose more than expected in December, official figures show.
And with Donald Trump back in the White House, all eyes will be on the relationship between him and Starmer - not to mention Foreign Secretary David Lammy.
Stay with us as we bring you the latest development and analysis from the House of Commons.
