It is such a shame that CHANCER Starmer is such an inept opposition leader. He seems to forget he is not in a court where the witness cannot answer back. Boris does and time after time he is shown up as being totally ineffective. Liebour will rue they ever elected him

Sunak looks a class above the rest of this ineffectual and pallid cabinet. Shapps, Jenrick, Hancock, Gove, and especially Williamson very unconvincing. Patel a disaster. Free thinkers like Ken Clarke and Rory Stewart badly missed in this crisis. Starmer appears to be a statesman.

It’s no distraction it’s the delivery of a promise to Brexiters to curtail the foreign aid budget.

I think Starmer's muffed this one - Getting rid of DfID was the goal, everything else is the distraction. The headlines over Rashford's big win are a smokescreen to avoid questions over why the Government is choosing to kill millions of children around the world.
