Labour’s Starmer slams Boris Johnson ‘circus’ in crime-fighting pitch

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:15:05 GMT

LONDON — Labour leader Keir Starmer attacked the “circus” around Boris Johnson as he tried to slot the ex-prime minister’s dramatic parliamentary grilling into an anti-crime pitch. In an address Thursday in the key election battleground of Stoke, Starmer brought up his old political foe’s interrogation by the House of Commons privileges committee. The cross-party group spent much of Wednesday afternoon probing whether Johnson misled MPs over rule-breaking gatherings in government offices at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. Starmer — formerly director of public prosecutions (DPP) — sought to link the issue to his own host of anti-crime promises that he hopes will persuade voters that Labour has their back on an issue traditionally seen as a Conservative strength.The Labour leader said his own time as DPP — attacked by some Conservatives — meant he “found the pandemic parties in Downing Street under Boris Johnson so reprehensible” and the ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:15:05 GMT

Across Europe, people are once again commuting to workplaces, sitting in crowded restaurants and concert halls, and boarding planes. So how many of COVID’s provisional changes have become permanent, and how many have been swept away? 4 ways cities changedBike-lane boomCOVID-19 was terrible for human beings, but it gave a great boost to cycling infrastructure. One of the first cities to bet big on bicycles was Milan, which just one month into Italy’s hard lockdown unveiled its a strategy to reconfigure 35 kilome...
