Could Labour give the Boris Johnson row the attention it deserves?

What could Jeremy Corbyn attack Theresa May with this week at Prime Minister’s Questions? The Labour leader has already had a go at the crisis in social care funding, which the government is trying to patch up this week by raising the council tax precept from 2 per cent to 4 per cent. He could have another go, given what has long been a serious issue is starting to become a political row too. The problem is that the Labour leader so often retreats to social care and the NHS as a comfort blanket that his attacks are a little blunter than they could be.

One row that really hasn’t had as much attention as it deserves is the one over Boris Johnson’s remarks about Saudi Arabia. It is quite extraordinary that a Prime Minister would slap down a Foreign Secretary in public by saying that he was only expressing his personal view.
