Now the Labour leader appears confident of taking the Prime Minister to task in another discipline: a press-up contest.

Fit or fit-ish

The following day he told Times Radio he was trying to show he was “fit, or fit-ish” amid speculation over his health after being admitted to hospital with a severe case of Covid-19.

The spectacle prompted a question during a GMB interview from Piers Morgan to Sir Keir over whether he can complete more than one press-up.

“I can,” Sir Keir responded. “I was thinking at PMQs this week maybe question one should be, you know, first to 50.”

Downing Street did not seize the opportunity of a press-up competition between the PM and the leader of the Opposition.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
