Red Wall Tory, Ashfield MP Lee Anderson, withdraws support from Boris Johnson
There were some well prepared lines delivered by Keir Starmer - referring to the cabinet has a"Z-list cast of nodding dogs" and asking if was the first case of"sinking ships fleeing the rat".
But he was arguably stronger in slowly recounting the changing government line on Chris Pincher in the recent days, and in quoting from an alleged victim of Pincher.Indeed, there have been plenty of grumbles about the Labour leader - but his performance today elicited the most enthusiastic response from his own benches for some weeks.
That said, we still await the verdict of the Durham Police, with the possibility that Starmer will have to resign if fined. But Johnson concluded with a message aimed more at his own side than at the opposition - that he intended to continue delivering in government.
