The Conservative Party has begun promoting £16.99 Flip Flops branded with Sir Keir Starmer's face on them in a jibe concerning the Labour chief's supposed coverage U-turns

The description of the product, obtainable from the Conservative Party web site, accuses Sir Keir of getting had "more flip flops than Bondi beach".

It says: "In three years of rudderless leadership, Keir Starmer has had more flip flops than Bondi beach and more launches than NASA.

"Whether it’s small boats or the financial system, Labour has a ‘liable to change’ chief who will flip his place if the politics flop to go well with him."

The site adds: "So these one-of-a-kind sandals are the right current for all followers of flip flops."

Rishi Sunak has repeatedly accused Sir Keir of "flip-flopping", claiming that the Labour leader has reversed multiple pledges.

In a PMQs clash earlier this year, the Prime Minister accused Sir Keir of U-turning on his housing policy.

Speaking about the Labour leader, Mr Sunak said: "He needs to impose top-down housing targets, he needs to concrete over the greenbelt and trip roughshod over native communities.

"Now, previously [Starmer] did say - he's on record as saying - local people, local communities should have more power, more control.

"Now he is U-turned. Just one other in a protracted listing of damaged guarantees."

If in Government, the Labour party has pledged to have a target of 70 percent home ownership.

The party has also promised to restore mandatory housing targets as part of an attempt to build 300,000 homes each year.

This year, Sir Keir also admitted he plans to U-turn on the pledge to scrap university tuition fees.

The Labour leader confirmed plans to drop the manifesto pledge, despite having promised to stick to the policy in the race to replace Jeremy Corbyn.
