Sir Keir Starmer tells @LBC “Boris is all over the place” on Brexit right now, tells the PM “you had an oven ready deal, so get on with it.”

Sir Keir Starmer asked about the current problems with test and trace. Says on Boris - "instead of saying he's going to fix the problem now, he says 'well we'll have 10 million tests by the end of the year or whatever.'"

"Get on with the job in hand and fix the problem now."

Q about Extinction Rebellion - the Labour Leader says "Climate change is a huge issue and it's right to draw the attention to it. But the tactic and actions of XR, particularly blockading newspapers, was just wrong and counter productive." @LBC

Sir Keir takes a call from Charlotte, who's block has unsafe cladding: "What will you do to hold the Govt to account on this?

He says: "This is totally unacceptable... Everyone should call on the Government to do something about it."

No obvious solution from Keir though. @LBC

Sir Keir Starmer says the cladding / fire safety issue "shouldn't be party political" and that "safety is paramount." He cannot believe 3+ years after Grenfell that people are still in unsafe homes.

Kate in Barnes calls about Hammersmith Bridge. She blames "utter incompetence and indifference from Labour-lead Hammersmith & Fulham council, and TfL.

Keir promises "As a result of you calling up about this I will speak to the various parties and find out what's been going on."
