DAN HODGES: Keir Starmer is a man without shame. As people across the country made sacrifices for one another, all he cared about was himself - and his precious voice coach

Daily Mail  

This is why it matters that Keir Starmer had a meeting with voice coach Leonie Mellinger on Christmas Eve 2020, as London was locked down under stringent Tier 4 Covid restrictions. While in opposition, Sir Keir Starmer was not just a supporter of lockdown, he was an evangelist for it, Dan Hodges writes It's not even because Starmer has again been exposed over his faux, butter-wouldn't-melt-in-my-mouth, piety. Leonie Mellinger travelled from her home in Brighton to Sir Keir's office in central London, Dan Hodges writes Keir Starmer remembers them. In 2022, with the Partygate scandal raging, Sir Keir stood up in the House of Commons and eviscerated Boris Johnson as 'a man without shame'.
