Do you have a link?

Theunamedcat · 14/01/2022 17:35

Link? I mean I'm unsurprised really

AnneLovesGilbert · 14/01/2022 17:36

Is this new? There was already an event that was known about where he was having a pint.

AutumnAlmanack · 14/01/2022 17:37

Sorry, I don't know how to insert a link! It's on the Daily Mail website.

I wouldn’t say it was anyway as bad as what has been happening in Downing Street.

Bluebluemoon39 · 14/01/2022 17:38

Hmmm, interesting.

Yes, expect to see lots of little "leaks" like this over the coming weeks!

MyQuietPlace · 14/01/2022 17:38

It's always been one rule for the rich and famous, something else for the rest of us. Piers Morgan, The Beckhams, The Ramsays, Kate bloody Price, and so many others, went on holiday whilst we were all unable to go anywhere.

I can't see what date it was? Was when you were allowed to gather in doors or was it when you weren't allowed? That makes a big difference.

SpindleyCrow · 14/01/2022 17:40

A) Starmer isn't the Prime Minister

B) Starmer isn't part of the government which made the rules

C) Starmer having a beer in an office in 2021 as compared to the piss-ups at Downing Street while the Queen was preparing to bury her husand is the comparison of a political fucking idiot, Nicola Murray you vapid wanker

That picture has been around for a while & attributed to a number of different locations/ sources.

Not like the dailymail & tories desperate to manipulate something is it?

PlanetNormal · 14/01/2022 17:41

On what date last year? All restrictions ended on 16 July.

CorrBlimeyGG · 14/01/2022 17:43

It was in May 2021, when indoor household mixing was not allowed except for work purposes. It was during the Hartlepool by-election. They'd been campaigning during the day and holding zoom meetings with campaigners during the evening. During a break between these meetings they had dinner and had a beer.

Even the DM can't bring themselves to call it a party. Because it wasn't.

He isnt the pm

SpindleyCrow · 14/01/2022 17:45

If it's all right with you, OP, I'd like that photo to be sourced, validated and dated. Just as with the Downing Street ones.

Cheers.

Keir Starmer visited a constituency office during a by election, and stayed to participate in a meeting in the evening. He ate his dinner at the office due to the evening meeting.

Not really the same an organising a piss up for 100 people.

AutumnAlmanack · 14/01/2022 17:47

Agree @SpindleyCrow - just contributing what I saw - haven't seen this footage before.

Keir Starmer was shown being in the same room as a bunch of Labour staffers in May 2021 visiting a Labour constituency office in Durham ahead of the Hartlepool by-election. In the fuzzy picture taken through a window, it looks like he might be holding a beer.

He was clearly in the North of England for work purposes, and worked over dinner, therefore drank during said meal. There are five people in the picture, and the general social contract at that time in terms of restrictions etc was very different.

midsomermurderess · 14/01/2022 17:49

This is pretty desperate stuff.

I'm sure I saw a post today saying "Starmer would never do something like that" 😂
ItsSnowJokes · 14/01/2022 17:51

I have just looked at the footage and I don't think you can call that a "party" in any way shape of form. It looks exactly like they say it was. A beer with dinner while waiting for a work meeting. This is just tories trying their "best" to deflect and looking like twats to be honest.

Also Labour didn't make the laws, the tories did!

Flynnqwer · 14/01/2022 17:52

And he hasn’t.

Flynnqwer · 14/01/2022 17:52

@Flynnqwer

And he hasn’t.
That was in reply to @EmmaH2022
ClaudineClare · 14/01/2022 17:55

@Havilland

Left or right, they all know it’s a Scamdenic and wear masks for show. In real life they are living their lives normally with no masks etc.

Hope not I just thought it was wildly optimistic to say "a politician would never..."
