Starmer waiting for an ambulance to arrive and, although he left the scene of the accident before police arrived, later reported the incident at a police station. The cyclist was hospitalized. A spokesperson for Starmer said: “Keir was involved in a minor road traffic accident on Sunday. Predictably for Britain, the Metropolitan Police have confirmed that “the driver has not been arrested nor interviewed under caution.” Labour continues to have plans to make the country “one of the…
