Sir Keir Starmer leaves Covid-19 isolation and will face Boris Johnson at PMQs

Sir Keir Starmer will be able to face Boris Johnson at Prime Minister’s Questions after testing negative for coronavirus for a second day.

The Labour leader was forced to pull out of last week’s Prime Minister’s Questions session after testing positive for Covid-19 and has spent the time since in self-isolation.

But following negative tests on Tuesday and Wednesday he is clear to return to the Commons.

Reports that Boris Johnson and his then fiancé Carrie Symonds attended a “bring your own booze” party in the No 10 garden during lockdown have reignited uproar for a Prime Minister familiar with scandal.

On Monday, an email in which Mr Johnson’s principal private secretary Martin Reynolds invited Downing Street staff to the gathering in May 2020 was leaked .

It is the latest of a string of leaks and reports about lockdown parties occurring in No 10. Up until now they have focused on the period surrounding Christmas 2020, when the country was under its second lockdown.
