‘Charge of the lightweight brigade’: Starmer uses PMQs to mock Tories

Labour leader says Conservative MPs backing Boris Johnson do not have a shred of integrity'

Keir Starmer has accused Conservative MPs and ministers of complicity in propping up a prime minister with a history of indefensible behaviour, as he condemned and mocked what he called the dying spectacle" of Boris Johnson's political career.

Focusing in particular on Johnson's decision earlier this year to promote Chris Pincher to be deputy chief whip, despite a known history of sexually predatory behaviour, Starmer said any Tory MPs still backing Johnson did not have a shred of integrity".
