Wow. @BorisJohnson in today’s #PMQs called @Keir_Starmer ‘s question about why Johnson sat on the #RussiaReport for so long, when it stated Russia was such an immediate threat, ‘absurd’.
Absurd.
#NotMyPM
Mike drop: when @BorisJohnson tries to avoid answering #RussiaReport questioning by saying @Keir_Starmer ’sat on his hands’ re Russia, Starmers replies that he was one of those involved in ‘prosecuting’ Russia in the #Litvinenko case.
“I spent 5yrs as Director of Public Prosecutions” says @Keir_Starmer (after @BorisJohnson suggests Starmer could have done more -in opposition-re Russia) “working on live operations with security services, so I’m not going to take lectures from this PM about national security’
.@Keir_Starmer was on fire! Replying to @BorisJohnson ’s gag about Starmer ‘flip flop’-ing:
“pre-prepared gags on flip flops: this is the former columnist who wrote ‘two’ versions of every article ever published’
Effortless. Unprepared. Brilliant.
#PMQs
Here’s the clip: @Keir_Starmer is absurdly impressive - especially up against a PM who looks so... lost and not in control of his country, the facts, or his words
“Mr Speaker”, concludes @Keir_Starmer after multiple ‘deflection’ attacks by @BorisJohnson of Starmer’s predecessor, ‘in case the PM hasn’t noticed, the @UKLabour party is under New Management’.
