Hopkirk at 23.23 "Look at the pictures. Sir Keir's 'crime' is not in the same league."
I agree entirely - the pictures of Starmer's curry and beer social look worse than the pictures published of Johnson yesterday. If what Johnson attended was a "party", it's got to be the worst party ever; pre-packaged sandwiches, hardly anybody there and he didn't have booze in his hand.
Johnson attending "parties" (they look like anything but) and Starmer enjoying a beer and a curry, are total trivialities, the money spent on the investigations is ridiculous, and the righteous indignation, outrage and pearl-clutching expressed here, and in the press, is laughable.
***Unpopular opinion alert***
I don't think the same rules should have applied to BJ, his Government, and all the staffers working in Downing St during the lockdowns and keeping the country running as best they could. If they wanted a glass of wine 5 minutes after work with people they were working next to for the previous 10 hours, well so what.
