Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer receives Covid booster jab

Sir Keir Starmer received his Covid-19 booster vaccine at a pharmacy in London on Monday morning.

The Labour leader appeared to smile under a facemask as he flashed his updated pass, before explaining how “quick and painless” the third jab was.

“I’ve just had my booster - quick, painless and no side effects,” Mr Starmer said.

“I would encourage absolutely everyone who is eligible to come forward and have their booster. Don’t be taken in by the misinformation, come forward. Think of yourself, think of others.”
