Punchy Keir Starmer: "The PM doesn't even have the decency to come here and defend what he did or apologise for his actions. Rather than repair the damage he's done, the PM is running scared, he's chosen to hide. His concern as always is self-preservation not national interest."

Best Commons performance from Starmer I've seen in a long time.

"This wasn't a tactical mistake, an innocent misjudgement swiftly corrected by a u-turn. It was the PM's way of doing business, a pattern of behaviour.

"Government corruption, there is no other word for it".

Starmer, watched by only a fraction of Tory MPs, adds: "It's said that the PM doesn't believe the rules apply to him, but it's worse than that.

"He absolutely knows the rules do apply, his strategy is to devalue the rules so they don't matter to anybody anymore."

Starmer on standards: "The best solution is the simple one. They should change their behaviour.

Labour leader calls for three commitments:
1/ Make Rob Roberts face recall
2/No peerages for MPs breaching standards rules
3/Full investigation into Randox contracts

Kapow!

Starmer: "Instead of stepping up he has hidden away. Instead of clearing his mess he has left his side knee deep in it. Instead of leading from the front he has cowered away. He is not a serious leader and the joke isn’t funny anymore."
