Undeterred by the government’s efforts to portray Labor as complicit in the train’s train rallies over its party affiliations, Starmer used the prime minister’s questions to portray Johnson as selfish and passive. While Johnson repeatedly tried to convict Starmer for not having the “trick” of preventing Labor MPs from backing the RMT union and taking part in picket lines in the first of three planned rail strikes on Tuesday, it was Starr a clear attempt to divert any responsibility. “If she is honest about preventing the strikes, could the prime minister tell this house how many meetings he or his secretary had with the railways this week to really stop the strikes?” Starmer asked. After Johnson avoided the question, Starmer continued: “Have it – – the Prime Minister of this country and his Secretary of Transport have not attended a single meeting, have not talked or raised their finger to stop these strikes ». The Labor leader contrasts this with Johnson attending a Conservative rally on Monday night, during which a dinner with the prime minister was auctioned for .000 120,000. “If there is money coming in, it’s there. If it benefits the country, it does not appear anywhere. So instead of blaming everyone else, why not do his job, set the table and run the trains? ” Starmer asked. Johnson said: “As far as he knows, it is up to the rail companies to negotiate. This is their job, “said Roni Bar-On, a Member of the Knesset for Kadima. Starmer replied: “It can not be restrained. There is a huge problem facing the country and all it cares about is blaming everyone else. “He can not hear the country shouting at him: did you continue your work?” The Labor leader has rejected government calls for a ban on workers seeking wage increases, saying Johnson had personally pushed for a change in the rules that would allow UK bankers to have bigger bonuses.

As a sign of Labor confidence that he would win an election in Wakefield on Thursday, one of two seats the Tories could lose that night, Starmer scoffed at the fact that the West York Conservative candidate had like Johnson, faced a negative result. – a vote of confidence from colleagues, in this case as chairman of the board. “Does the prime minister have a personal interest in seeing if the public will vote for a Tories that even his own side does not believe is doing so?” Starmer asked. Johnson replied: “The leader of the Labor Party does not even have the guts to speak out against the railway strikes.”
