Self-isolating for 10 days
The leader of the British Labour Party, Keir Starmer, has tested positive for Covid-19.
Ed Miliband - who is the party's shadow business secretary - had to step in during Prime Minister's Questions this lunchtime.
Mr. Starmer is now self-isolating.
The 59 year-old will quarantine for 10 days, meaning he will miss the beginning of the COP26 climate change summit.
The politician tested positive on an antigen test, which he carries out daily, but this is the first positive result.
