Probably the best I have heard from Starmer. I just hope he continues to remind the country that Johnson has always been backed to the hilt by his cabinet and party and that they are just as tainted as he is.
Johnson and his front bench didn’t even have the decency to stop chatting back at Starmer, during his speech.

And while everyone is concentrating on the lack of response from the Met, over the parties, it would appear that the lack of response to crime is now systemic throughout the police force.
Between April 2020 and April 2021 there were 268,000 reported burglaries. Just 14,000 we’re solved.
For the same period 1 in 20 violent crimes ended with a charge.
For the same period 1 in 77 rapes ended with a charge.
It would appear, under the political party that prides itself on being the “Party for law and order” that crime actually does pay.
