Maybe Keir Starmer should consider going back to basics. It’s been so long since Boris Johnson gave a direct – or even an indirect – answer to the Labour leader at prime minister’s questions that the time has come for Starmer to work out at what level Boris is prepared to tell the truth.
Simple control questions, such as “What is your name?” “What is your job?” “How many children do you have?” On second thoughts, maybe we should scrub that last one. We’ll never get an honest answer to that. Not least because Boris may not actually know.
