Here's the case that @Keir_Starmer was raising in #PMQs.
Johnson shrugs it off by referring to the vaccine rollout, claiming Hancock was a 'Westminster bubble' issue. Tone deaf alert.

.@Keir_Starmer quick to pick up on the 'bubble' line. Johnson fails to withdraw the line.
PM says: "Of course he’s right about the sacrifice [of families like Ollie's]...the best response to their grief and their pain..is to get on with a new health secretary..."

Last week, Johnson appeared to dismiss concerns about rape victims as 'jabber'.
This week, he appeared to dismiss concerns about funeral restrictions on Covid families as 'the Westminster bubble'
Simple tone-check stuff, which he could avoid if he mixed the pace of his answers.

I'm told @Keir_Starmer spoke on the phone for about 10/15 minutes to Ollie's mum, ahead of PMQs this morning, after he saw the BBC story and to ask her permission to raise the issue.
PM's press secretary on his use of the phrase 'Westminster bubble': "He absolutely was NOT referring to this issue [Ollie Bibby]. The point he was making was that Keir Starmer was focusing on the former Health Secretary, when he left government five days ago."
