Keir Starmer interview: "I have nothing in common with Boris Johnson"
Labour leader Keir Starmer issues a strongly-worded attack on the Prime Minister's character in an interview with Political Editor Adam Payne. Starmer insists that he has “nothing in common” with Boris Johnson as he questions the Prime Minister’s integrity and ability to lead the country at a time of crisis.
He addresses the row over LGBT+ rights playing out across Westminster, accusing the government of “weaponising” vulnerable people for their own political gains. Starmer also issues pointed remarks about Labour’s previous leadership and insists that the party has made significant progress “given what I inherited as leader of a party”.
Starmer's timely interview coincides with a fresh crop of scandal in Downing Street after Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak received fines from police over 'partygate' events. Payne discusses what this means for Johnson and Sunak's future in Downing Street with political reporters Eleanor Langford and John Johnston, and what they've been hearing in Westminster since the news dropped.
The Rundown is presented by Eleanor Langford with Adam Payne and John Johnston. The editor is Laura Silver.
