Sir Keir Starmer has suggested the “circus of the last few days” around Boris Johnson’s Privileges Committee hearing was a reminder of the former prime minister’s “total disrespect for a national sacrifice”.
The Labour leader made the comments as he gave a speech at Port Vale FC in Stoke-on-Trent, outlining the party’s crime and policing agenda.
"I've found the pandemic parties in Downing Street under Boris Johnson so reprehensible," Sir Keir said.
"The circus of the last few days - a reminder of his total disrespect for a national sacrifice."
