Guido’s interested to see Starmer arrive at John Lewis this afternoon for a smug photoshoot amid flat-gate. It’s undoubtedly a smirk-raising photo-op, though it’s undermined by Starmer’s own words at PMQs yesterday, who ranted at Boris:

“This is a Prime Minister who, during the pandemic, was nipping out of meetings to choose wallpaper”

Now the Tories are able to accuse Starmer of playing party politics, and doing so during a pandemic.
