Sir Kier Starmer has double standards?

He was knighted in 2014 prior to him being an MP for services to law and criminal justice. He is an honourable man unlike this Tory bunch of hypocrites with their lies.

Over 70s in good health have never had to obey any lockdown. [sigh]

Snap Callistemon. Sorry, I didn't see your post.

Witzend ???
I agree totally, and has anyone not been watching scenes of packed beaches for the last few weeks?

There may very well be LP MPs and supporters breaking the rules, but they are not the people who have issued the rules which most of us have observed.

Granny Gravy, your points are spot on plus factual, Sir Keir! Doesn't the Sir say something, is a very priviledge and wealthy clever lawyer, he is looking for loopholes in anything Boris says as if he's in a courtroom. These bulletins every afternoon are now a sham, not many people bother,met had become attack after attack from Labour and the press. I wish Boris had taken more time off, you can see he's not well. I find
the personal attacks by Whitewave offensive, deal with facts please. Dominic could barely be understood due to some stupid people paying a horn to disrupt everything, but that's the behaviour we can expect now. He should never have put Boris in this position it has detracted from dealing with the most momentous event the world has known it's not about him and it's not working together, it's just become political, another stick for Sir to beat Boris, my father would turn in his grave at what's happened to Labour, he gave his life to them.

Yes imagine the opposition holding the government to account, how awful of them.

I think that he has come across as ver measured in his responses. I think that he has the Tories worried and with good reason.

sparkling what personal attacks?

Southend-on-Sea-----packed like sardines on the beach yesterday, but it doesn't matter what the South does , does it ?

It may do in 2-3 weeks when the reproductive number increases EV

EV I live close to Southend on Sea, there were beach marshalls, and the overhead drone footage shows that the majority of people were observing social distancing . They have reopened public toilets, and there are lines on the pavement outside takeaway ice cream parlours and food shops.

Dominic Cummings is a prime mover behind making the rules. Of vourse we should all abide by them but more those who devised them. Remainers like me regard Mr. Cummings as a deceitful almost criminal liar who helped win the referendum by telling many lies. Seeing the Brexit they are pushing it is not the Brexit that most leavers voted for. Such people have no place in a civilised government. His lying ways have not changed.

To expect Kier Starmer to withdraw the Labour whip for less grevious actions is unreasonable.

SOCIALISTS .dont believe in the Honours system or titles ,well not any socialists I grew up with ,maybe English "socialists" have different standards ?

Sorry to wind back so far, but I had intermittent difficulty logging on last night.

If you can point me in the direction of a catechism of socialism, I can look at the bit about the Honours system. I wasn't aware that there was a policy on beliefs about such matters though, but maybe my standards don't match up to yours - you know, on account of being English .

I'm still baffled about the Barnard Castle (not Castle Barnard, incidentally) reference. Yes, there is a 'branch' of AstraZeneca there, but not the HQ. I am most definitely not an apologist for Cummings, but if he had travelled to visit someone there (unlikely if he was ill, and why take the family, and why not meet remotely, and why not host the meeting in London where other government bods were on hand?) he could just have said so. It is a far less contentious reason for travelling than the one he gave.

doodle it was Easter Sunday.

That theory cannot run I’m afraid.

Speaking of Barnard Castle, if DC was seriously worried about his eyesight a 10 minute drive would have been sufficient. Instead he went for a 60 minute round trip.

And if he was seriously worried about his eyesight why take his son in the car too when he might have been unable to drive safely? Makes no sense. After all, he had all those relatives available to look after the child.

These stories are very "convenient".

If he was seriously worried about his eyesight, he should not have been behind a steering wheel. It's an offence to drive with uncorrected impaired vision.

Wife could have driven.
