LONDON (Reuters) - British opposition Labour leader Keir Starmer took aim at Boris Johnson's Conservative Party on Tuesday, saying he offered Britain "straight leadership" rather than the prime minister's "flawed" and "reckless" government.

With Labour ahead of the governing Conservatives in opinion polls, Starmer used an address at the start of the year to double down on his criticism of Johnson for being a leader "who thinks the rules apply to anyone but him".
