LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer faced criticism yesterday after penning an article for the Daily Mail, agreeing with Boris Johnson’s plans to send kids back to school come what may.
Mr Starmer began the Mail on Sunday article by criticising the government over its exam results fiasco before turning his forensic analysis to the Prime Minister’s handling of schools during the Covid-19 lockdown.
“So, let me send a very clear message to the Prime Minister,” he wrote. “I don’t just want all children back at school next month, I expect them back at school.
Keir Starmer's early political life suggests a very different future from the one he ultimately embraced, says KEITH FLETT

The Carpathia isn’t coming to rescue this government still swimming in the mire, writes LINDA PENTZ GUNTER
