Keir Starmer has said Boris Johnson should step down because of what he described as rampant criminality over lockdown-breaking Downing Street parties, saying the prime minister was “taking the British public for fools” with his explanations.
Using prime minister’s questions on Wednesday to attack Johnson over taxes and the cost of living, as well as the police announcement that 20 fixed-penalty notices had been issued over the breaching of Covid rules in and around No 10, Starmer said Johnson’s position was untenable.
