Johnson is not enjoying his scrutiny at Prime Minister's Questions from Starmer.
Lies flow naturally from Johnson's mouth but questionning from a legally trained mind is exposing him. He can't get away with just bluster and a joke whilst clenching his fist.
Starmer quoted Govt advice given mid March to Care Homes that the Covid 19 outbreak was unlikely to affect them in any meaningful way and contrasted this advice with the fact that many thousands had died.
Johnson claimed the Govt did not issue that advice but Starmer had clearly done his research beforehand.
"Misleading the House" is a big offence in parliament and Starmer has asked in writing (copy to Speaker) Johnson to return to the House to correct the record which would a big humiliation for BOJO. Watch Johnson squirm on this one. Cummings will have his news spin at full stretch. Ministers are currently on message to say "British common sense" will see us through when questions get asked. Listen out for its use.
I'm liking this Starmer more ivvery day.
