Starmer Returns for June 3 PMQs as Commons Resumes After 1-Week Whitsun Recess

Summary
Midday on Wednesday, June 3, will mark Keir Starmer’s return to Prime Minister’s Questions, his first appearance since Parliament’s Whitsun break.
The session resumes because the Commons returned on Monday, June 1, ending a 1-week recess that had paused Starmer’s usual Wednesday questioning.
Kemi Badenoch is set to lead for the Conservatives before other MPs join, restoring the regular PMQs format after weeks disrupted by recesses and local elections.
Likely flashpoints include the Henry Nowak case and scrutiny over Lord Mandelson’s appointment as U.S. ambassador, with related documents due to be released.
The appearance also comes early in a new parliamentary session launched by the May 13 King’s Speech and followed by a reshuffle after Wes Streeting’s resignation.
