First lol of the day as Johnson tells the House he has no tolerance for fraudsters
Starmer now asking Johnson about the ministerial code. Johnson replies with bullshit about Covid.
Starmer now repeating PM's words from December that all guidance was followed, and there was no party. Again asks Johnson if he will resign. Johnson now accuses Starmer of opportunism. Truly, we need a stronger word than chutzpah
Johnson unwisely refers to Captain Hindsight. Starmer notes that Johnson only realised he was at a party in hindsight
Starmer highlighting that the evidence is serious enough for a police investigation. Calls out the MPs who are finding this so funny. A good look - public doesn't seem particularly amused
Johnson now using Ukraine as a weapon with which to beat Starmer, which is about the level of cynicism we should expect from him. Hilariously calls on Starmer to raise his game
If anyone had any doubt that Johnson was privileging his personal position above a potential new war in Europe, this should leave no doubt
Johnson again coming out with random statistics on Covid that nobody asked him for
Starmer's tactics working well for him today. Staying calm, measured and focused while Johnson agitated and out of control
'Of course he wants me out of the way,' says Johnson, like a paranoid divorcee talking about his new girlfriend's son
Johnson finishes his word salad with the line that Starmer is a 'lawyer, not a leader'. Under the circumstances, the public may currently want both
'Every nick in a death of a thousand cuts' - good line from Blackford. Highlights nation's suffering while 'he eats cake'. Unlikely to persuade anyone but he makes the point
On Al Jazeera now to discuss what the hell I've just seen
