It comes after a NAO report revealed fast-track VIP lanes had been set up to allow little-known companies with political contracts to win lucrative PPE deals.

“You said you’d meet with us and then went back on your promise. So now you are ignoring us we decided to bring our message to the Houses of Parliament.”

Jeremy Corbyn has been readmitted as a party member but Sir Keir Starmer has said he would not restore the whip - meaning the former leader will sit as an independent MP.

Shadow Northern Ireland secretary Louise Haigh said “thousands of businesses still do not know the bare basics” of the trading regime at the end of the year.

Roughly one-in-ten suppliers processed through the VIP channel – 47 out of 493 – obtained lucrative PPE contracts, compared to less than one-in-a-hundred suppliers that came through the ordinary lane.

Chris Krebs has repeatedly pushed back against false claims that the election was tainted.

Starmer said Corbyn’s comments that antisemitism had been exaggerated for “political reasons” had “undermined our work in restoring trust” with the Jewish community.

Like the rest of his gilded existence, Boris was once again everywhere and nowhere.

Keir Starmer said “the single biggest threat to the United Kingdom is the Prime Minister every time he opens his mouth."
