Keir Starmer – 2022 Comments in House of Commons on Boris Johnson Attending Party

The comments made by Keir Starmer, the Leader of the Opposition, in the House of Commons on 12 January 2022.

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’s 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?
