PM saying he "didn't hear Starmer condemn the then leader of the opposition" re Russia on Salisbury
Starmer says "he's not going to take lectures" from PM on this, that he condemned the attacks, he worked on Litvinenko and helped prosecute spies

PM: "this is abt pressure from Islingtonian remainers...UK didn't vote to leave EU because of Russian interference, they voted to take back control."
Hmm. It's possible to believe potential Russian interference wasn't decisive in 2016 but that it's still important re security.

Starmer asks PM if govt will look at taking away Russia Today's broadcast licence
PM doesn't answer, instead talks about the referendum, saying Starmer's questions are about that ref and accuses him of "having more flip flops than Bournemouth beach"

Starmer replies to Johnson's comments about flip flops, saying he won't take lectures about flip flops from a prime minister who wrote two articles about whether it was best to leave or remain
Also says "don't know if he's noticed but Labour's under management"

The PM did not answer the 3 main (v important) questions from Intel Committee Report: 1) why was the govt so reluctant to see it published 2) why is there such reluctance to have a proper inquiry into Russian interference 3) who is in charge of protecting us from it?
