So James Dellingpole’s son secretly filmed Starmer and passed it to Lawrence Fox who tried to make it a thing but couldn’t because it paled into insignificance versus what Johnson was up to.
At the same time 100s of photos were taken at Johnson’s parties by an official photographer that we pay for but we’re not allowed to see those
The Daily Mail / Sun then spend days pressuring the Durham police to investigate in a way that they didn’t when Cummings drove to Barbara Castle to test his eyesight
This coverage happened at the same time as the Conservatives lost almost 500 seats locally - a result that was stated to be catastrophic by the Daily Mail before the local elections
And now Starmer has said he’ll resign if fined we are told that he’s pressuring the investigation. This country is broken, it’s government, it’s press, it’s moral compass. We are fucked.
We are now at the stage where the client journalists/commentators are genuinely arguing that if Starmer is found to have not broken the law then he has questions to answer. Unlike Johnson who has broken the law demonstrably and repeatedly
*Barnard obvs. But if Cummings had driven to Barbara Castle I think he’d have received short shrift
