I witnessed the dying days of Boris Johnson’s premiership. Keir Starmer’s position is uncannily similar | Simon Hart
S itting at the back of the public gallery watching Olly Robbins give his evidence to the foreign affairs select committee hearing on Tuesday felt horribly like the summer of 2022 all over again.

In Starmer’s ever-lengthening list of leadership flaws is his willingness to cheerfully abandon his people at the most dangerous time in the battle, for no other reason than the protection of his own reputation.
