(ANSA) – LONDON, JAN 05 – Another excellent contagion from Covid in the United Kingdom where the leader of the Labor opposition, sir Keir Starmer, tested positive in the last few hours in a test in the wake of the spread of the new Omicron variant, and will be forced to skip the face-to-face appointment with Tory Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, in the traditional Wednesday Question Time, the first in the House of Commons after the Christmas break.
For Starmer, even though he has been vaccinated, this is the second infection in just two months. The precedent took place in October, on the eve of the debate in Parliament on the financial one, when the Delta variant still dominated the Covid scene. The number one of Labor at the time had reported a mild infection, while this time – according to the PA agency – it would be completely asymptomatic. According to the health indications in force in the Kingdom, however, he will have to remain in isolation at home at least until next week.
Fresh from a public intervention yesterday in Birmingham, where he had re-launched Labor’s challenge to Johnson by illustrating his “contract” with British voters to oust the conservatives from the government in the future, Starmer will be replaced in Question Time by the deputy Labor leader, Angela Rayner .
