Westminster wars...

■ THe Tories plummet in the polls to a four-point lead over Labour, and voters cite Dominic Cummings breaking lockdown rules as the main reason. Boris should have had the guts to rid himself of this troublesome adviser.

■ HAPLESS Health Secretary Matt Hancock began his Covid briefing channelling Vera Lynn. Given he has overseen the greatest death toll of any European nation, I imagine he will soon meet his fellow MPs again — on the backbenches.

■ So THIS must be why Keir Starmer doesn’t seem worried about getting kids back to school. Although he’s been siding with obstructive teachers’ unions who want to keep classrooms closed, it emerges his son and daughter have been at their state schools throughout lockdown, because his wife is a key nHS worker.
