Taking his quip at Prime Minister’s Questions at face value, Sir Keir Starmer would rather be in the lovely seaside resort of Rhyl than Westminster right now.
“That’s a very appealing invitation just at the moment,” Sir Keir joked, when Clwyd North MP Gill German asked if the PM wanted to join her on a visit to the Welsh town. At least there he would be less likely to encounter questions about why “unauthorised” briefings that the prime minister will face a leadership challenge in the aftermath of a difficult Budget in a fortnight’s time appear to have come from inside No 10 itself.
