Labour strategists are plotting to 'outflank' Boris Johnson on law and order by portraying leader Sir Keir Starmer as an heroic figure who helped to prevent a 'British 9/11'. In a heated exchange, the Prime Minister tore into Sir Keir for having supported Mr Corbyn, 'an IRA-condoning politician who wanted to get out of Nato'. I ask the Prime Minister to have the decency to withdraw that comment.' He said: 'I'm sure that, as DPP, Sir Keir played his part in those important prosecutions. 'But when it comes to electing a Prime Minister, the British people do it on the basis of a politician's all-round abilities – not the size of his ego.'
