Poor party politics leave Keir exposed
KEIR Starmer’s allies say there is no comparison between Beergate and Partygate.They are only too darn right. Boris stopped for a bit of birthday cake, which didn’t even leave its box, and then carried on working. Keir Starmer, by contrast, simply relaxed in an end-of -day social gathering involving at least 15 people. Boris’s birthday cake was a surprise, Starmer’s curry was planned from the start. Boris was with his wife and also people with whom he had been working day in, day out.
Starmer was with local party workers whom he met for a single day’s campaigning rather than with regular workers from his usual workplace. So no, there is no comparison.
Boris has apologised 35 times. Starmer has made no apology at all.
Worse still, Starmer and his party have lied, lied and lied again. Angela Rayner wasn’t there. Yes, she was. It was a break during work. No, the schedule makes clear it was a pre-planned event for when work was over and not a single shred of evidence has been found to show that Starmer did anything afterwards by way of work.
He did some video clips but the only ones anybody can produce were taken earlier in the day.
There was no other source of food.Yes, there was – in the very hotel in which he was staying.And so it goes on, a bad situation compounded by lies.
IDON’T think anybody should resign for getting a fixed penalty fine but I do think Starmer should pay the political price for breathtaking hypocrisy and he will if he remains as leader of Her Majesty’s opposition because he is now marked as a prize hypocrite and every word he utters will be examined against his actions.
Quite apart from the moral aspects of the matter, what does it say about his judgment? Knowing his own vulnerability, he still spent months castigating the Prime Minister. Did he really think he was going to get away with it for ever, that no leak would ever happen? That no snake was lurking in the grass? Idiot!
