Keir Starmer gets John Swinney's name wrong during Scotland visit
 KEIR Starmer got John Swinney’s name wrong while being questioned by the media in Glasgow.

The Prime Minister answered questions from journalists at a community centre in Garthamlock, Glasgow, on Thursday evening.

During an exchange with our sister paper the Glasgow Times, regarding the Home Office’s role in pressure on Glasgow City Council due to a high number of asylum seekers in the local authority area requiring housing, the Prime Minister misspoke the First Minister’s last name.

Instead of Swinney, Starmer called the First Minister “John Sweeney”.From the article - Starmer’s ‘inciteful answer’

 Starmer said: “John Sweeney always points the finger at someone else.”

When the reporter interrupted to suggest he meant John Swinney, Starmer responded: “Yeah, because he never takes responsibility for his own record.
