#KeirStarmer - forget parties and focus on competence.

➡️ His tweet last year just after #FreedomDay 👇

There was

1️⃣ No summer of chaos

2️⃣ The UK/England does not have the highest death toll in Europe

3️⃣ New variants got into New Zealand when pursuing #ZeroCovid

On 07 July at Prime Ministers questions he called the Government plans to remove Covid restrictions as ‘reckless’. He cited modellers predicting cases of up to 100k a day when restrictions were eased.

We never did get the 100k through the Delta variant - cases remained flat

The following day on 08 July he accepted free tickets from the Premier League for the England vs Italy Euro final at Wembley.

This was valued in the Register of Members' Financial Interests at £1,628.

While calling on restrictions to stay he took freebies to mix with thousands

Now of course there is nothing illegal in accepting free tickets, nor was it illegal to attend the match itself.

But he constantly got things wrong on Covid, could not work out death numbers are linked to population size and was a hypocrite in accepting the free tickets IMO.
