2 days agoThe nine lives of Keir Starmer: The British prime minister buys time until the May elections
Keir Starmer arrived at Wednesday's Prime Minister's Questions with his claws sharpened. He reminded the Conservatives of Boris Johnson's misdeeds; the Liberal Democrats of their complicity in the austerity imposed by David Cameron's government; and Scottish National Party (SNP) of the corruption cases involving its previous leadership. Welldrilled Labour MPs cheered and applauded their leader. The immediate goal was to contain the fallout from the MandelsonEpstein scandal, which had come close to ending the British prime minister's brief tenure.
