Yesterday in PMQs, Keir Starmer was wrong. Boris Johnson challenged him when it came to PMQs about obtaining vaccines, and how, if the UK had followed the lead of Keir Starmer when it came to Brexit (a view I share with the leader of the opposition), that the UK would not have been able to vaccinate as many people as it has. Keir Starmer said that Boris Johnson was in the wrong, but this was a situation where Boris actually spoke the whole truth.
The media are quite right to hold Keir Starmer to account on this, but what I find sad is that most of the media do not do this for the Prime Minister on the many occasions in Parliament that he gives the wrong answer. I do not consider Keir Starmer to have lied. I consider him to have got the facts wrong, an embarrassing issue considering this was over that he himself had said. He has been decent enough to apologise for the mistake that he has made. While this meant that he lost the bout of PMQs in parliament yesterday, it was a rare loss as he normally savages Boris in his debating chamber.
