Starmer is really impressive. Nowhere to hide in the Commons Chamber now with all the noise drowned out.

Such a breath of fresh air to have an effective opposition again now the adults are running Labour.

At least they've now set another arbitrary target of 200,000 a day rather than a workable and sustainable system. Still, at least the end of May will be good for testing before it goes back down.

Well that was a lot of use, change the slogan to be ambiguous and then don't quantify what it means. Increase the penalties for things that the public don't know about and the Police don't want to deal with.

There's growing unease within the Tory ranks with Boris's handling of this.

Well, well, well - there’s a surprise.

Should we write the outcome now?

A few low-level Tories thrown under the bus, Boris and co. totally exonerated and some meaningless committee set up (probably to meet annually) to come up with some wishy-washy proposals.

Exonerate themselves entirely, blame political enemies for your own failings then leak it to the press leaving the party open to serious financial damage.

Oh, wrong report

Indeed.

Starmer QC appears forensic with his evidence and cross-examination.

He, yet again, absolutely dissected Johnson the :clown.

It was also abundantly clear that Johnson completely failed to answer in any way, two of Starmer's six questions. Considering the fact that he would have had these in advance; in order for his minions to prepare answers; it just go to show the disarry of this inept, lying Tory Government.

Roll on next Wednesday! :D

Are you sure about that? My understanding is that the PM probably doesn't get most questions in advance, at least not from the opposition, as the intention would be to test the PM rather than give him the opportunity to rehearse answers.

Just checked this and I stand corrected.

No wonder there was so much bluster and meaningless waffle from the overweight oaf today!

In other news, does anyone know how many days this month the Tories have hit their stated target of testing 100,000 people per day?
