Whatever moral authority Free Gear Keir had to govern is being quickly stripped away. While Johnson was allowing outdoor parties in his garden, Starmer was broadcasting indoors at his mate’s Covent Garden pad, in total contravention of the COVID rules he and his future Chief of Staff were steadfast in enforcing for everyone - apart from him apparently. We also deserve to know how long 2TK has had his snout in Lord Alli’s trough as the more non MSM look, the more they find. And talking of looking, you won’t find any mention of Starmer’s use of Lord Alli’s home on BBC News but it has just made the last item on Sky. It looks like Starmer is no more fit to govern than Johnson was.

Am I alone in wondering about his 'relationship' with this toothy Lord?

No you aren’t! And also, there seems to be a lack on commentary on the expensive dresses bought for Lady Starmer. What exactly does he want in return for those I wonder? Overlooking the fact that a multi-millionaire is allowing another man to clothe his wife, I think we can all guess exactly what he wants. Or am I being sleazy there myself?

It's utterly brazen - and smacks of Starmer assuming he'd got the media in his pocket. His excuses are all over the place. Latest one has fallen apart - No 10 claimed he only used Alli's love-nest for one broadcast. Erm, no - he did the one on the Queen's death from there too.

A great point. How long must we endure these inept, self-serving twats?

At least 5 years I'm afraid!

You’re not alone Paul. There are a few of us but not enough in the MSM. If we ever wanted evidence of where their political allegiances lie, we have it here.

There is a gale-force whiff of lavender about all this! I think beards are involved. And do you work in the MSM?

No I’m not a journo. I’m an ex banker! I’ve just watched Darren McCaffrey the Sky News attack dog get his teeth into this with gusto. Maybe this story will snowball. I’m increasingly of the view that Starmer won’t last full term. He’ll either be forced out or his notorious thin skin will cause him to give up.

I wish but it won't happen! He's dogged and very well-protected. The BBC - not the force they were, true - are covering this up.

Well, when you're the Son of a mere Toolmaker, you have to take your luxuries where you can find them. Who wouldn't like to stay in a Covent Garden pad, especially as it is probably free to the right sort of person? Who wouldn't like a gay man to pick out nice clothes for you and and your wife when it's a well-known cliche that all the best dressed people these days are gay? Who wouldn't want to be filmed somewhere nice whilst slagging off the Tory Toffs?

After all, the Son of a Toolmaker is a nob nowadays himself isn't he - Sir and Lady We'rePoshNow - so he needs all the help he can get from another made-up nob - Lord DoneAlrightAlli.

The other admirable thing about 2TK is how, as he vowed, he's kept his kids out of politics. They're a 'no go' area for this pious saint. It would have been easy for him to hide behind - say - his son's GCSEs. A lesser man would have done so - exposing the young chap to ridicule etc. Yet Starmer hasn't mentioned him.

You've hit the nail on the head the only thing I wish Starmer is that he would drown in a bucket of his own shit.

Indeed. It reminds me of the joke we had, about our least favourite teacher, nicknamed 'Bucket':

Q: What's the difference between Dr Goodwin and a bucket of shit?

A: The bucket.
