Sir Keir Starmer today jibed at Rishi Sunak for not having joined him in schmoozing business elites in Davos.
The Labour leader used an appearance at the World Economic Forum to claim the Prime Minister's absence from the event was a sign of Britain's economic 'drift'.
He claimed Mr Sunak 'should have showed up' and insisted his own attendance - together with shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves - was a 'statement of intent' about Labour's efforts to seize power from the Tories.
This week's gathering in Davos, the Swiss ski resort, is the first in-person World Economic Forum since the Covid pandemic began.
It is being attended by the usual cast of global politicians and business elites.
But the PM is not attending with Downing Street having said his focus is on domestic matters such as the economy, the NHS and the Channel migrant crisis.
