Beergate: Lisa Nandy defends Keir Starmer over claims Labour leader broke COVID rulesMs Nandy was pressed by Sky's Sophy Ridge about what the Labour leader should do if found to have broken the rules - while the Tories accused their opponents of 'rank double standards'. Amazing the amount of time Sky is spending on this compared to the multiple breaches at No.10. Anyone would think that there’s a motive behind your coverage Keith’s rapacious curry hunger has become the story, such a distraction means labour can’t effectively fight the Tories and it’s time for him to apologise and resign. There are beer bottles in the room. One even in Keir Starmer’s hand. Lucky them if they can WORK at the same time as downing a bottle (or more) of beer. Doctors, nurses, teachers, care givers, ambulance drivers, police etc CAN NOT ! 😡😡😡😡😡

No evidence Keir Starmer broke Covid rules, says shadow minister‘Ludicrous’ to suggest Labour leader is trying to avoid scrutiny over issue, says Wes Streeting Except he did break the rules Honestly, given that this is only a follow up action, quite how long can this take to investigate? It is hardly a reliable and newsworthy viewpoint when the person pontificating on the subject was appointed to the shadow cabinet by the alleged perpetrator.
