Keir Starmer said last night that Jeremy Corbyn would have been a better Prime Minister than Boris Johnson. During the BBC Question Time special, he initially dodged backing his 2019 praise of Corbyn, continuing his trend of distancing himself from the left. However, he let slip that he thinks Corbyn would have been better, compared with Boris. An outlandish remark considering Corbyn would have sent the country into ruins -if he does think that then Starmer is far more left-wing than he pretends to be. Is there such thing as a changed Labour Party?
Speaking to Adam Boulton on Times Radio about kicking the Golders Green suspect, Heidi Alexander said:
“I thought that if I was in the shoes of that police officer, then if I’m honest, given the situation, and the fact that he had a backpack on his back, and they were worried about whether that might go off, I could, if I was a police officer, frankly, I could see myself having taken similar action.”
