Keyword: “Outdoors”.

I’m all for Boris getting fined and potentially facing removal, but when you break the rules, once, twice or more, and then attack others, call on them to resign, they need to follow their own advice.

Campaigning outdoors refers to knocking on doors, stalls in the street etc.

Starmer and co were working indoors with a break for food and drink as restaurants and pubs were closed.

The legislation does not require them to do that outside.

Would have been amusing if it had been that way with perhaps Sturgeon and Macron doing something similar for good measure... but it's not turned out that way. :D

The Sue Gray Report will decapitate Johnson, no falling on swords required there.

Despite Operation Save 5 May, all the false equivalence mustered by the Daily Mail can't overturn the fact that Starmer was investigated and cleared. I contend that the British public are generally clever enough to see through the Mail's disinformation as they have been with Putin's.

It was not allowed. Mixing with other households, indoors was prohibited. They were not working, having a beer is not working. They traveled to Durham, so wasn’t his regular working office and now they admit: after lying, that Rayner was now there. Says a lot when even HIGNFY just pissed on Labour’s chips for their disgraceful hypocrisy.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

Seems to be one rule for Tories and a different one for all the rest . Here in red Wales , the labour leader screams break the law and resign , member of his government breaks it I think 3 times but that's ok as she paid the fines :confused:

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

I agree that Labour were incorrect in stating that Rayner was not there but I believe that's the only thing they did wrong. So fair cop for HIGNFY to call them out on this.

But it's important to know that that they were in Durham to manage a campaign and thus were allowed to eat and drink together...as all other workplaces at that time were allowed to do too.

It shouldn't be forgotten that this was 2021 and not 2020. At the time, the tabloids were complaining that not enough people were returning to their offices!

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

No they were not allowed to eat and drink together at all. You would make an horrible legal analyst Andrew. Labour broke the rules.

Read them.

How is that different from those at No 10 paying their fines? :confused:

In my view, any MP who broke a law they made/urged others to follow should step down. That's irrespective of which party they belong to and irrespective of a war in Ukraine.

Legal analysts/lawyers/police have doubtless gone through all the relevant documents - and not just this one - and found Starmer innocent.

I can't see why they would all put their reputations on the line and make such conclusions if they hadn't done their homework thoroughly. I think we might be heading into conspiracy theory territory here.

However, if you're right, fantastic, always good to see lawyers taken down a peg or two.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

Absolute bollocks and you know it.

Then why the hell are they re-looking at Starmers lockdown beer Durham case again?

You’re being pathetically obtuse, they broke the rules-end of.

Seems pretty clear.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

Not an authentic news outlet, don’t trust the source. Try Googling harder. :rolleyes:

It is absolutely clear, but the Labour luvvies in this thread are blind to the facts that the rules were clear, Boris got caught out, only fair that when Labour’s rank hypocrisy stinks, when they’re clearly just as guilty of lying and breaking lockdown rules, they get called out as well.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

What’s not authentic about a long-established regional newspaper? You can be assured that their reporters have better contacts inside their local police force than anyone on any national title.

Having trained, qualified and worked in regional news I ought to be offended. :D

[QUOTE=1andrew1;36120512]How is that different from those at No 10 paying their fines? :
exactly my point . Need to ask the Labour leader right load of bs was his answer . "She paid the fines end of the matter . " Or words to that effect but a lot more :dozey:

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

It was a slant on Hugh to be better at googling. There has to be a better news source than a regional unheard of outlet.
