Watch again: Boris Johnson faces Keir Starmer at PMQs as Labour leader accuses PM of ‘winging it’

Boris Johnson and Sir Keir Starmer have reacted to the killing of George Floyd in the US in Prime Minister’s Questions.

The Prime Minister called the killing “appalling and inexcusable”, and he added that he “perfectly understands” people’s right to protest.

Labour leader Sir Keir said the killing had “shone a light on racism” in the US and beyond.

Sir Keir also asked the PM questions about the R-rate and Covid Alert Level, test and trace statistics and he pointed to the “drop in trust” following the Dominic Cummings row.
