Starmer doing quite significant damage to Johnson over his record on care homes right now https://www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/c233c46e-2773-4ded-a412-e2a8ea5cc1abr
That was brutal. Each question valid and specific. No credible answer to any of them.
It's quite clear - you could have predicted it months ago - what the Starmer/Johnson dynamic will be: lawyerly specifics vs broad-brushstroke warbling. That'll do for those disposed to support Johnson anyway. But it will not for those who are not.
Usual caveat that most people don't watch PMQs etc. But if the weekly exchange proceeds regularly along these lines, it will do damage.
One thing which is troubling me. Starmer told Johnson that the official govt guidance to care homes until March 12th was "it remains very unlikely that people receiving care in a care home will become infected".
Johnson replied: "It wasn't true that the advice said that".
Here is the guidance. It does say that. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-for-social-or-community-care-and-residential-settings-on-covid-19/guidance-for-social-or-community-care-and-residential-settings-on-covid-19
Maybe I'm missing something - someone point it out if so - but that seems to me as if the prime minister misled the House.
