Keir Starmer accuses Tories of ‘mud-slinging’ over lockdown beer photo

  1. why wouldn’t he be happy for police to look at it again? More evidence regarding how many people were there seems to have emerged.Surely a police investigation of something of a triviality could have been classed as a waste of time, except Starmer is insistent there should be investigations of Downing Street, so it seems to me he has to be prepared for the same scrutiny.If there isn’t proof that the team didn’t eat and drink, then resume working within a reasonable time (as they claim), then I don’t see what a fixed penalty could be issued for.

  2. Mud slinging is accurate I would say, given that the police themselves had to come out and say that effectively what the tories/right wing papers were saying was bollocks.

  3. Based on the position and resolution of the original ‘gotcha’ photo, has anyone ever pointed out that it could have been a bottle of San Pelligrino, or even the first thing I thought of when I saw the photo, a bottle of Fentimans Root Ginger Beer? Or am I grasping at straws? Huh, tories? Am I acting disengenous and discounting a clearly damning photograph that clearly unmasks the hypocrisy of the lefties for criticising Boris? After all, he only appeared in a couple of photos, with wine and champagn bottles, and a few hawaiian flower necklesses, which obviously were just a bit of ‘down time’ for our ever so diligent government leaders. Our ever so diligent government leaders working tirelessly to ensure their staff and comrades get the recognition they deserve, like making sure the failed London Mayorial candidate Shaun Bailey had enough deviled eggs for his 2020 Christmas party celebrating his spectacular failure; or working so tirelessly as to ‘fire and forget’ the brilliant and quip Press Secretary Allegra Stratton after that little ‘gaffe’ recorded lockdown breifing, silly mare! Or whatabout our brilliant and diligent government leaders working their socks off to ensure the Sue Grey Report, the Russia Report, and the Home Office Bullying inquiry were buried under a mountain of due diligence, bureaucratic negligence, and external interference because we can’t have our loyal and patriotic government undermined now when we’re in the middle of dodging our responsibilities in humanitarian aid provision to a war that we can be seemngly ‘fighting’, thus absconding our determined and united cabinet of ministers from scrutiny, whilst also ‘not fighting’, because that would be a terrible oopsie if we upset our nation’s historic friends our Russian cousins, that’s the British spirit!

  4. Apparently Nadine Dorries posted a photo of a business meeting allegedly contravening Covid 19 regulations, where the person sat next to Keir Starmer had died in 2019.

  5. Shouldn’t he be doing the whole politics thing?

    I mean instead of going on about Johnson partying or Rayner leg crossing or his beer photo. Maybe just maybe, he could try spelling out policies and stuff. People don’t know what he stands for because he keeps going on about irrelevant shit.

  6. If I were Starmer, I would’ve made a £10,000 donation to Mind, to represent the level of COVID lockdown fine a regular pleb would get, then I would’ve said “Your move, Boris.”
