Sir Keir Starmer says Boris Johnson's party apology is 'worthless'

Sir Keir Starmer has slammed Boris Johnson's apology over attending a lockdown garden party as 'offensive' and 'pretty worthless'.

During PMQs, the Labour leader confronted the Prime Minister, asking him 'when will he do the decent thing and resign?'

The ordinary person got fined, yet Boris will no doubt get away with it yet again purely because of his position. One rule for them and one for the rest of us.

I had a trumatic birth (ended in a c-section) and had to do it without my husband and then stay alone in an understaffed ward for a week. (Thus my medical needs weren't properly met.) My husband didn't even know I was alive until my mum used her status as a member of NHS staff to get into the hospital see if I was ok.

This man is beyond a joke and it is clear he doesn't want to let go of the power he and his croonies have been enjoying since he was in power.

My brother died of covid in May 2020, couldn't visit him in hospital, hadn't seen him during the 6 weeks of his hospital stay, there was a closed funeral which I wasn't allowed to attend and I never saw him again due to the restrictions in place, this makes me feel sick.

“The pathetic spectacle of a man that has run out of road”

Goddamn

He regrets being caught and wished that he had made sure there was _no_ evidence left linking him to those parties.

Why is Boris apologizing when he said wait for the inquiry, he admitted they broke the rules that day, so why have an inquiry?

[stuartf]

Johnsons arrogance is beyond unbelievable.

[derekbert]

IF HE GETS AWAY WITH THIS WE DESERVE EVERYTHING WE GET

[tannerwilson]

Even as an American! Make him face a no confidence vote and force him out. He’s had major issues way beyond the parties.

[francescapowell]

Loving Keir’s face palm 🤦‍♂️ moment !!!
😂😂🤣🤣😂😂

Anyone that was fined for breaches to covid policy should be refunded

[Beatlestories]

He can't ride this one out he needs to go. My sister had a visit from the police for doing what he did, this is disgraceful.

[carolshortall]

He’s saying he thought it was a work meeting!
If that was true, why was an invitation sent out stating
‘bring your own booze’
and why was his partner and newborn baby present!!
Is that the norm for
‘business meetings?!

[maxbateman]

Wait for facts.
Despite admitting being there.
A man who was saying there were no parties only a matter of weeks ago, knowing he had broken the rules.
Honourable gentleman by arse.

[ritastewart]

I find it difficult to understand how ''' I want to apologise'' is being regarded as an apology.
What has happened to saying ''I am sorry''

[CorvusCorax.]

"I thought it was a work event". That guy is f-ing priceless 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[neregion]

"I sympathise with people who have suffered up and down this country" hard to believe from a man who sat across from a woman who had lost her father, pretended to care, all the while sitting in the same garden that him and his cronies had been slamming back "booze". Disgrace to the country, all of them.

I do love how Brirish MP's just dig into eachother, the bench pounding, the shouting. Dutch politics is much too polite.

[donnablackman]

Boris is innocent just like prince andrew 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️

[kobizarre]

Starmer absolutely wiped the floor with Johnson
