Premier Boris Johnson has claimed to be "very proud" of his coronavirus strategy , with the UK poised to reach 40,000 coronavirus deaths (39,726), by far the country with the most deaths in Europe. Johnson reacted angrily in Parliament to the increasingly inquisitive tone of the opposition leader, Labor Keir Starmer , who asked directly: "Who has been controlling the situation so far?"

Starmer accused the conservative leader of "having turned a difficult situation into a situation ten times worse." Speaking to The Guardian , the Labor leader went on the attack like never before and blamed the premier for having thrown British confidence overboard in recent weeks.

"The Dominic Cummings factor has made people think there is one rule for the elite and another rule for the rest," Starmer said, referring to Johnson's ironclad defense of his strategist, despite having violated confinement. " There is increasing concern and confidence in the government has collapsed ... More than an exit strategy, what appears to be an exit without strategy."

Boris Johnson regretted the tone of the opposition leader , assuring that the British want to see "more signs of cooperation" on the part of the Labor Party. "I take responsibility for everything this government has done to deal with the coronavirus and I am very proud of our record," said the conservative leader. "If we look at what we have achieved, it is very considerable. We have protected the National Health System and we are lowering the mortality rate. We have less and less hospital admissions."

Starmer replied, claiming that Johnson confuses "scrutiny (of the government's work) with attack." The Labor leader said he wrote a letter to Johnson a long time ago asking for a consensus on the controversial reopening of schools on June 1 and that he is still waiting for a response .

In the fourth parliamentary confrontation between the two leaders, the end of the truce that until now had been maintained by the Labor opposition , which is rising whole against British voters and has notably cut the advantage of the Tories due to the chaos of de-escalation and scandal, was evident.
