I don't think this has backfired on Starmer.

Chances are he isn't going to get a fine - he stated he would stand down if fined, but didn't have to, this puts additional pressure on Johnson especially if more details of parties emerge or if the photos in the Sue Grey report are particularly damning.

If he does get a fine, he'll stand down. This would ramp the pressure even more on Johnson, and Starmer gets a reputation as being honourable, and can return to front line politics at a later date.
