Keir Starmer’s performance at today’s Prime Minister’s Questions featured one of the best structures of a leader of the opposition’s questions that we have seen in a long time.
The Labour leader read aloud the introduction to the ministerial code that Boris Johnson penned when he took office: “There must be no bullying, no harassment, no leaking, no misuse of taxpayers money, no actual or perceived conflicts of interest,” and then proceeded to work through each of the Prime Minister’s stipulations in turn. It provided a suspensful, devastating way for the Labour leader to raise each of the controversies currently surrounding the government, from bullying allegations against Priti Patel, to the leaking of plans for a second lockdown, to problematic PPE contracts.
