“Keir was in the workplace, meeting a local MP in her constituency office and participating in an online Labour Party event,” the statement from the time said. “They paused for dinner as the meeting was during the evening.”
It came as Wes Streeting, the shadow health secretary, yesterday ramped up the party’s attacks on Mr Johnson, claiming that he is “not fit to lick the boots of NHS staff in this country”.
The testy exchange came after Sajid Javid, the Health Secretary, accused Mr Streeting of not thanking the NHS for the booster rollout.
Responding to the claim, Mr Streeting told the Commons: “I am not sure whether that is in order, but what I did say from a sedentary position was the Prime Minister is not fit to lick the boots of NHS staff in this country.”
