Labour MP has brutal response to a Tory minister who was mocking Keir Starmer

Keir Starmer has only been the Labour leader for a few weeks but he has already started to turn heads in parliament.

He has earned praise for his questioning of the government's reporting on coronavirus cases and deaths and even members of the media have begun to defend him.

Although some believe that not everything has been perfect it would appear that those in government are concerned as they have already started to make memes about him.

Tory minister James Cleverly mocked the Labour leader on Wednesday by tweeting the front cover of the Financial Times weekend magazine which featured Starmer and compared it to a 'gritty crime drama.'

Nobody really took any notice of Cleverly's tweet as it has managed just over 200 retweets at the time of writing.

However, Clive Lewis, the Labour MP for Norwich South wasn't about to let Cleverly get away with it and offered him his own take on a 'gritty crime drama' comparing it to the government's response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Lewis's no holds barred tweet has been shared more than 2000 times and people were far more in favour of his takedown of the MP for Braintree.

At the time of writing, more than 200,000 cases of coronavirus which has resulted in 31,241 deaths, the most in Europe and second only to the United States for the most in the world.
