The Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has accused prime minister Boris Johnson of being “too weak to act” and of failing to have “drawn a line under” the Dominic Cummings saga.
Sir Keir, who has said he would have sacked the adviser if he was PM, tweeted:
Boris Johnson should have drawn a line under the Dominic Cummings saga but was too weak to act.
The public have sacrificed so much for the health of our nation – which he’s now undermined.
And sent a message that there’s one rule for them and another for the British people.
The prime minister Boris Johnson will be lead this afternoon’s news briefing, due to begin shortly. He is expected to provide an update on easing lockdown measures in England.
He will be joined by the chief scientific advisor Sir Patrick Vallance and the chief medical officer for England Prof Chris Whitty.
