channel4uk--2020-07-22--FactCheck: Starmer contradicted Corbyn on the Salisbury attack

Boris Johnson has accused Keir Starmer of saying “ nothing ” when Jeremy Corbyn failed to unequivocally condemn Russia for the 2018 Salisbury poisonings .
In fact , Sir Keir publicly followed Theresa May ’ s line in blaming Russia for the incident and backed her actions as Prime Minister in a television appearance .
Sir Keir , then Shadow Brexit Secretary , did not criticise Mr Corbyn directly in the House of Commons speech after his controversial speech on Salisbury , as some Labour backbenchers did .
Speaking at Prime Minister ’ s Questions today , Mr Johnson said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hands and said nothing while the Labour party parroted the line of the Kremlin , when people in this country were poisoned on the orders of Vladimir Putin ” .
Sir Keir replied : “ I stood up and condemned what happened in Salisbury , and I supported the then Prime Minister on record .

The Conservative Prime Minister told MPs : “ There is no alternative conclusion other than that the Russian state was culpable for the attempted murder of Mr Skripal and his daughter.

Boris Johnson has accused Keir Starmer of saying “nothing” when Jeremy Corbyn failed to unequivocally condemn Russia for the 2018 Salisbury poisonings.
In fact, Sir Keir publicly followed Theresa May’s line in blaming Russia for the incident and backed her actions as Prime Minister in a television appearance.
Sir Keir, then Shadow Brexit Secretary, did not criticise Mr Corbyn directly in the House of Commons speech after his controversial speech on Salisbury, as some Labour backbenchers did.
The analysis
Speaking at Prime Minister’s Questions today, Mr Johnson said the Labour leader “sat on his hands and said nothing while the Labour party parroted the line of the Kremlin, when people in this country were poisoned on the orders of Vladimir Putin”.
Sir Keir replied: “I stood up and condemned what happened in Salisbury, and I supported the then Prime Minister on record. I would ask the Prime Minister to check the record and withdraw that.”
Mr Johnson replied: “I do not wish to contradict him, but he sat on his hands and said nothing. The previous Leader of the Opposition parroted the line of the Kremlin that the UK should supply… I did not hear him criticise the previous Leader of the Opposition.”
The Corbyn speech
Theresa May addressed the House of Commons on Wednesday March 14, 2018, ten days after the former Russian intelligence officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with a “novichok” nerve agent in Salisbury.
The Conservative Prime Minister told MPs: “There is no alternative conclusion other than that the Russian state was culpable for the attempted murder of Mr Skripal and his daughter.”
But Mr Corbyn, then Leader of the Opposition, did not echo her in blaming the regime of President Vladimir Putin for the attack, and his official spokesman later drew a comparison with the faulty intelligence that led to the invasion of Iraq.
Mr Corbyn provoked audible anger from around the House of Commons when he asked Mrs May “how has she responded to the Russian Government’s request for a sample of the agent used in the Salisbury attack to run their own tests”.
This is a likely candidate for what Mr Johnson had in mind when he talked about Labour “parrot(ing) the line of the Kremlin”.
Unlike other party leaders, Mr Corbyn did not commit to work with the Conservative government as it shaped its response to the Salisbury attack.
Labour reaction
A string of Labour backbenchers emphatically backed Mrs May over Mr Corbyn. Yvette Cooper, chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee, said Russia’s actions “must be met with unequivocal condemnation”.
Pat McFadden said: “Responding with strength and resolve when your country is under threat is an essential component of political leadership. There is a Labour tradition that understands that.”
John Woodcock, a notable critic of Mr Corbyn, said: “This is a day for the House to speak as one for the nation. The Prime Minister will be reassured to hear that a clear majority of Labour MPs, alongside the leaders of every other party, support her firm stance.”
It’s right to say that Keir Starmer did not get to his feet to criticise Mr Corbyn on that day in the Commons (in fact, it’s not clear from video footage whether he was in the chamber or not).
But it would be extremely unusual for a shadow cabinet member to get to stand up and contradict or criticise the leader of the opposition from the front bench.
Sir Keir also did not add his name to an early day motion put forward by Labour backbenchers stating that the House of Commons “unequivocally accepts the Russian state’s culpability” for the poisonings.
Again, it would have been politically very difficult for a shadow cabinet member to add their name to a motion that would have embarrassed the Labour leader, sponsored by some of his most prominent critics.
Starmer position
Sir Keir did set out his disagreement with Jeremy Corbyn in an appearance on the BBC’s Question Time the day after Mr Corbyn’s speech in the Commons.
He said the Salisbury attack “deserves to be condemned by all of us without reservation – without reservation”.
Sir Keir said Mrs May had come to the conclusion that the Russian state was responsible after the Putin regime failed to answer detailed questions from London about the attack. Other countries had accepted that Moscow was the culprit.
He said: “That is the right conclusion, and for that reason, I think it is very important that we support the action the Prime Minister laid out on Wednesday.”
He said that he had done legal work for the family of Alexander Litvinenko, the victim of what another alleged Kremlin assassination plot on UK soil.
Sir Keir said: “This is not the first time. It needs to be called out with no ifs and no buts, and we need strong action, as set out by the Prime Minister on Wednesday.”
Labour rift
Sir Keir and two cabinet colleagues – Nia Griffiths and Emily Thornberry – all publicly stated that they believed Russia was behind the Salisbury attack within hours of Jeremy Corbyn’s speech.
The three made their beliefs clear in broadcast interviews, but stopped short of offering personal criticism of Mr Corbyn.
News outlets ran several stories on the apparent rift among Labour front-benchers on the issue, with Mr Corbyn increasingly isolated as his shadow cabinet members took a different line on Salisbury to their leader.
FactCheck verdict
Keir Starmer made it clear that he supported Theresa May after she blamed the Russian government for the Salisbury novichok attack.
This put him at odds with Jeremy Corbyn and was widely reported at the time as a rift between senior Labour figures.
Mr Starmer did not immediately get to his feet to criticise Mr Corbyn when the then-Labour leader failed to fully back Theresa May in the Commons, as some Labour backbenchers did.
But that would have been an extremely unusual thing for a shadow cabinet member to have done.

Tonight, The Secret Barrister tells us why they think it is so difficult for the victims of one of the most serious crimes – rape – to get justice.
Recently rules were changed so that women who report rape do not have to automatically hand over their mobile phones.
But will that change much, as data continues to pile up with not enough police to go through it? Only one in 70 rape cases result in a prosecution.

The Prime Minister has reportedly said he fears that a second wave of coronavirus infections could hit the UK within weeks.
It comes as Spain, France, Germany and other countries see upsurges in new cases.
How big is the current spike on the continent? And should Britain be bracing itself for a second wave?
Covid-19 in the UK
How do we measure the prevalence of coronavirus in the UK? There isn’t one perfect statistic.
The first place to look is the number of people testing positive. Some 581 people tested positive after a swab (or “antigen”) test across the UK on Tuesday.
We can see the long-term trend in government figures for new cases in England: the number of new confirmed cases has fallen dramatically since April, but it has never fallen to zero.
In fact, the rolling average number of people testing positive has risen slightly from around 550 a day to around 700 in the last three weeks:
Of course, data from tests is not likely to be completely accurate. No testing regime will pick up every case, and as the UK’s ability to carry out tests has risen sharply, we would expect this to lead to more positive tests.
But the trend in confirmed cases mirrors the trend we see in another measure of coronavirus prevalence: the ONS’s survey of cases in the community (outside hospitals).
It’s a similar story here: there was a sharp decline in coronavirus rates, but the decrease appears to have levelled off in recent weeks:
What is the current rate of infection?
None of this should come as a surprise, according to experts. We have eased lockdown measures in recent weeks, so this would be expected to lead to a rise in new infections.
That may not be a disaster, as long as the rate of transmission remains low.
This is where the “R” number comes in. The number represents the average number of people who become infected by someone carrying the virus. If it falls below 1, the illness can be expected to slowly die out. The higher the number, the greater the chance of the virus spreading exponentially.
Working out the current “R” number is a matter of modelling and estimates, rather than hard facts.
Today scientists at Cambridge’s MRC Biostatics Unit estimated that there are really about 3,000 new infections in England each day, and that the “R” rate “is close to 1 in most regions of England”.
The government puts the reproduction number across the whole of the UK in the range of 0.7 to 0.9.
Rise in Europe
Other European countries have seen sharper rises in new cases, according to data from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
Using a seven-day average, we can see that there have been substantial upticks in Germany and France in recent weeks, and a very large increase in Spain, where cases almost trebled in July:
This gives some insight into why the British government has decided to reintroduce quarantine restrictions on people returning from Spain, although representatives of the Spanish government have questioned the fairness of the measure, since the outbreaks in Spain have been very regional.
We can see how much local surges are to blame for Spain’s coronavirus resurgence in ECDPC figures here: it’s true that many regions outside the north-east of the country have fewer cases per 100,000 people than some regions of the United Kingdom.
Will there be a second wave?
Few experts are willing to make a firm prediction.
Many scientists point out that Britain has never managed to stamp out the virus altogether, so talk of a new distinct “wave” might be misleading. There have been hundreds of cases a day for months, and we would always expect a rise as distancing measures are eased.
What about the threat of new transmission from the continent?
Dr Michael Head, Senior Research Fellow in Global Health, University of Southampton, said: “It is a little early to say definitively whether some European countries, such as Spain or Germany, are experiencing the start of a second wave, or simply seeing spikes in their caseloads.
“The long-term decline to zero cases of COVID-19 will always see bumps in their graphs within the downward trend.”
Will a sustained resurgence of the disease on the continent mean it inevitably spreads to Britain? Again, we can’t say for sure, although we know that infected cases arriving from abroad played an important role at the beginning of the outbreak.
Researchers at Imperial College found last month that many infection cases arrived in the UK from Italy and Spain in early March, leading to “heavier seeding than we’d expected”.
It’s not surprising that the conversation has moved on to what measures the British government should introduce to reduce the numbers of infected cases from overseas.
The government has said there is currently no alternative to a 14-day quarantine period for travellers returning from coronavirus hotspot, despite complaints from leading figures in the travel industry.
But scientists from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine published a preprint article this week which found that a quarantine of just eight days, with a test on day seven, was almost as effective at detecting infections arrivals as isolating people for 14 days.
