Normally at this time on a Weds, we'd be tweeting abt #PMQs.
For all those missing that 15min injection of sanity into British politics every week, here's a thread of #KeirStarmer's greatest hits. (Yes, I know, it's 30mins, but half is given over to sycophancy form Tory MPs
).

Johnson carped about the data Keir Starmer was using him, and Starmer wrong-footed him by holding up the slides from the Government's own #COVID19 briefing and revealing it was Government data.

Starmer called Johnson out for throwing buckets of £millions at a failed track&trace app, so the PM challenged him to name a country that had one.
Out of several he could've named, Starmer coolly answered,"Germany".
A clip of the exchange went viral in #Germany

On the subject of #lockdown, Starmer schooled Johnson — it's not a question of being pro- or anti- easing of lockdown, but rather of setting strategy to take account of the risk.
This is something this incompetent government has never been able to figure out.

Johnson bragged about plans to reform the care home sector, which hadn't been reformed for 30yrs.
Starmer reminded him the Tories have been in power for the past 10yrs...
[Since then the Govt has given up all pretence of a protective ring around care homes.]

Three times Keir Starmer invited Boris Johnson to apologise to the relatives of those who died of #COVID19 in #CareHomes, and three times he refused to do it.
Boris Johnson & Dominic Cummings think not apologising or non-apologies = strength. They're wrong.

Starmer asked questions abt the report on preparation for #COVID19-Wave2, which the Govt had commissioned from a panel of scientists —and it became patently obvious Johnson hadn't read it.
Johnson is too lazy to be PM. We need a PM who is across the details.

In answer to Starmer asking him what he'd like to say to bereaved families, Johnson expressed regret, but then went off on a labyrinthine rant that ended up in the dead-end of pre-prepared & inappropriate quip abt Calvin Klein underpants.
Not a good look.

After the #RussiaReport revealed Tory PMs+Govts have known abt Russian influence, infiltration & interference in UK since 2014 and ignored it, Starmer accused Govt of not being on the pitch, let alone having its eye on the ball.
PM's reply: but Jeremy Corbyn...

PM proved you can't teach an old soak new tricks. Once again, the U-turn artist formerly known as World King let fly a corny gag abt Starmer *having more flip-flops than Bournemouth beach* —to a retort abt writing 2 versions of every article he'd ever published!
