Keir Starmer goes first with “bodies pile high” comment at the end of October.

PM on the record, in the Commons, says he didn’t make the comment.

Starmer says it would be a breach of the ministerial code if PM is wrong and knowingly misled Commons in his reply. High stakes.
Starmer then accuses PM of “nipping out of meetings” during start of the pandemic to sort the redecoration of his flat.

Moves on to flat. Asks whether Lord Brownlow donated £58k for flat refurb.

PM doesn’t answer the question.
Starmer draws in Electoral Commission. “Incredibly serious” that they have launched investigation. Does PM believe any rules were broken?

“No, I don’t” replies the PM. Insists people care about other things, especially when he has said “umpteen times” he paid for the wallpaper.
One claim that might need correcting in the PM’s (fairly angry) exchange with Keir Starmer is that he said Labour opposed the Government’s Brexit deal. Labour pointing out they supported it.
