So it's no secret that I've been of the opinion that those criticising Starmer for being too soft on Johnson were being premature. I think that up until now he's not really had the proper opportunity or the opening to really take Johnson down; moreover it's not something that I think people have wanted to see.
I am now of the opinion that that time is up. This is when Starmer really needs to let loose on Johnson. He needs to make his punches land. He needs to absolutely decimate Johnson at PMQs in an hour or so; not just in terms of the whole argument (which hardly anyone apart from me will watch), but in terms of what quotes he gets landing on the main news programmes. He needs to win the public over. He needs to show Johnson up for the shady chancer he is.
If Starmer can't do this today then I am going to be much less enthusiastic a defender of the guy. I think we're at the point where softly softly is no longer justifiable. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
