oh my gosh we should have really gone to town then.. done a hokey cokey .. shared our beers and packets of crisps and made the most of it ....
If Starmer was partying as well as BJ then we have a fascinating situation that I don't think has ever happened before, where both the government AND the opposition could be replacing their leaders simultaneously! Buckle up - this could be a bumpy (but interesting) ride!!!!
As it happens I do agree with you, everybody should be treated with equality, Starmer and Johnson the same when proven, I was pointing out what hypocrosy was being displayed and like I said they have all got their noses in the trough.
I would politely point out whilst that may be true we don’t know for sure as whilst Boris has admitted it Kier hasn’t so maybe we shouldn’t jump to conclusions YET about him.
I have to admit Boris did own up and apologise, here is the Starmer picture of him sharing a drink.. please log in to view this image Sir Keir was photographed having drinks with Labour Party staff in a constituency office in Durham last May
I don’t know the context of the photo , when or where it was taken, my point was yesterday you were adamant to wait for the result of an enquiry despite photos of and an admission of guilt from Boris, yet today based on a photograph alone you are happy to accuse Kier of wrong doing, it may turn out he did do wrong, that’s not the point, it’s that you apply different standards.
Corrrect I still await the results of the report and to find out about the depth of the rules being breached and lies that have been told, Starmer is the one applying different standards, it came out yesterday that he has earned £116k payements for work outside of his parliamentary package, he has an MP on his benches who has had a son of an active spy working for him, the MP also recieved payements from the Chinese Communist party for £650k funding his Labour activities, Starmer has now been photographed boozing it up breaking the rules last May,he has had to isolate himself 6 times because of Covid and hide away, he is no saint in my eyes, I still remember him sitting alongside Corbyn sucking up to him over the EU, talk about standards, the man has a very low threshold.
probably use the excuse it was a business meeting .. mind you could be trying to cook the books against Cummings!
The news about the spy came out yesterday which suggests they wouldn’t have been aware of it previously. At present at least no blame can be apportioned for that. You keep saying Kier was breaking the rules, with no evidence other than a photo, yet once again say you are awaiting the report to apportion similar blame to Boris. If you honestly can’t see you are using different standards there is no point in this discussion as there is none so blind as those that don’t want to see.
I do agree this discussion has ran its course but I have enjoyed having it. 'In a statement, Mr Gardiner, who was a member of the shadow cabinet under former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, said he had been liaising with the security services for a number of years about his contacts with Lee, who runs a law firm in central London.' https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/barry-gardiner-mi5-mps-chinese-labour-b976606.html
So have I Wiz, If I’m honest I’ve always considered Barry Gardiner to be one of the better MP’s of either colour, so if he turns out to be implicated I’d be surprised and disappointed,
Just goes to show that many MP's were not and are not concerned regarding Covid, backing my comments on scaremongering throughout!!

Everyone knows these meetings/parties are an absolute disgrace. However R&W reminds me of our wonderful BBC. Trawling the UK and scanning any tragic story. Seems to me a similar agenda is being followed.
I hate being lied to at the best of times but when it’s the prime minister it grates far worse. I can’t wait for him to go - I have some champagne on ice ready. As for trawling - I was just reading Sky news this morning and it was there. You don’t have to look hard to find those stories. Oh - and I hardly ever read BBC news these days. Mostly Sky followed by the Mail.
Makes no difference whether Boris goes or not, nothing will change with these politicians, they are all the same, when it comes to breaking rules etc...Boris, just has a habit of getting caught......better the devil you know IMO!!
In the interest of unbiasedness: https://news.sky.com/story/sir-keir...king-beer-with-staff-during-lockdown-12518210 Congratulations to Kier for finding that rarest of breeds - a takeaway which also serves beer.... We used to have one here in Swindon years ago - a local kebab house, which used to sell Efes beer - until the local council fined them for it. I've NEVER known any other takeaway sell beer in my entire life!!!
