in response, the labour leader, sir keir starmer, told the commons that borisjohnson's keir starmer, told the commons that boris johnson's defence keir starmer, told the commons that borisjohnson's defence was ridiculous and he should do the decent thing. mr speaker, so we've got the prime minister attending downing street parties — a clear breach of the rules. we've got the prime minister putting forward a series of ridiculous denials which he knows are untrue — a clear breach of the ministerial code. that code says ministers who knowingly mislead parliament will be expected to offer their resignation. the party is over, prime minister. the only question is will the british public kick him out, will his party kick him out, or will he do the decent thing and resign? mr speaker, ijust want to repeat that i think that the right honourable gentleman — and i know that it is his objective and he is paid to try to remove me from office, mr speaker, and i appreciate that and i accept that — but may i humbly suggest to him that he should wait until the enquiry has concluded and he sh

�* starmer during the by election, keir starmer was as a constituency office in durham in one of his mps, they're having a meeting and doing an online zoom event and at some point, they broke for some lunch or some dinner because it was happening during the course of the evening and there holding a bottle of beer there to people in the room with them and there were another two in the background this was at a time where you were not supposed be having social gatherings of more than one household. may of last year, so it's deftly not something that keir starmer would be proud of is in the queue rather not see on the front page of the daily mirror, but it is not a patch on m parties all the way through lockdowns and the bruising till two o'clock in the morning and a0 people in the room and all the rest of it and the cabinet secretary, simon explaining that he wasn't at the cabinet office party forjoseph�*s because he is at a different party instead that day. using one party to excuse another one is just an astonishing situation that they found themselves in. i that they found themselv

there were plenty of heated exchanges with keir starmer on just this issue. >> first he said there were no parties. then the video blew that defense out of the water. next he said he was sicker than furious when he found out about the parties, until it turned out that he himself was at the downing street garden party. then last week, he said he didn't realize it was a party. surprise, surprise, nobody believed it. so this week, he has a new defense. nobody warned me it was against the rules. that is it. nobody told him. [laughter] since the prime minister wrote the rules, why on earth does he think this new defense is going to work for him? prime minister johnson: thank you, mr. speaker. he talks about the rules. let me repeat what i said to the honorable lady across the aisle earlier on. ofourse, we must wait for the outcome of the inquiry. i renew what i have said. ros: let's speak to the bbc political correspondent. there might be some people watching thinking, what happened? 24 hours ago, there was extensive reporting that the moment might be nigh. >> just last nightmultiple reports

and itjust shows throughout his statement, even if keir starmer expressed the fact that many people have gone through so much, and feel guilty, you still have the prime minister dropped that apology very quickly and start going on the offensive, accusing keir starmer of not putting jimmy seibel behind bars, which is not true. we even had some of the prime minister's most loyal supporters after the statement thanking the prime minister, backing the news. it seems as if they were back to square one. he's got some time to gain the support of his own party, gain the support of the public. highlighting the fact that britain apparently has the most booming economy, and we've had the strongest maxi roll—out. itjust highlights what went on in lockdown, how many parties went on. was he there, was his wife there, and what is he going to do about that? lets squeeze in a few more stories. just moving to the right of the times's front page. years of masks on flights. why is that? unfortunately, there's harmonisation between _ unfortunately, there's harmonisation between different countries and thei

what does it take to be a leader, and has sir keir starmer got what it takes? critics say he lacks charisma, a lawyer who is good with words but doesn't inspire. today, though, he was wholeheartedly embracing that serious image. i want to start the new year by making a pledge of straight leadership. today, i want to introduce my contract with the british people. this will be a solemn agreement about what this country needs and how a good government should conduct itself. few would argue with the broad values he laid out — security, prosperity and respect. this was all about drawing a comparison with borisjohnson. i don't think politics is a branch of the entertainment industry. i think it's the serious business of getting things done. labour strategists think mrjohnson�*s style is wearing thin after recent mistakes, but can they convince voters they're a government in waiting? when it comes to your leadership, you spend a lot of time talking about patriotism, standing in front of a flag, very often. but some people want to know what specific policies you ha
