Something radically wrong going on here

BORIS Johnson’s Downing Street staff rewarded themselves – and him – with an impromptu celebration involving a birthday cake and a few drinks at their place of work in recognition of Boris’s birthday.

Keir Starmer, accompanied by, we have been belatedly informed, Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner together with numerous others, indulged themselves and their staff in a beer and curry party in a

Labour celebration in Durham.

Both leaders and their teams had been working on the main business of their day. Boris Johnson and his team on dealing with the weight of the Covid pandemic; Keir Starmer and his deputy and their team on political electioneering for the Labour Party.

Following an investigation by the London Metropolitan Police, Boris Johnson has been punished with a fixed penalty fine for breaking Covid restrictions.

Apparently, Keir Starmer and his deputy leader, Angela Rayner, who both pressed for Boris Johnson’s “conviction”, have not been investigated by Durham police, still less similarly fined for their transgressions, despite reports that “police bodyguards witnessed Sir Keir Starmer and aides sinking beer and eating

£200 of curry indoors during lockdown” at their Durham celebration.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. But isn’t there something radically wrong here?
