“Voice Coach Isn’t A Key Worker” | Keir Starmer Under Fire Over Covid Breach Row

Sir Keir Starmer was working when he met a voice coach during the winter of 2020 and suggestions that it broke lockdown rules are “mudslinging”, a minister has said.
The Prime Minister has denied breaching restrictions in place during the coronavirus pandemic by working with a communication skills specialist on a response to Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal.
Covid memorial campaigner Ellis Tustin joins Talk’s Mike Graham to discuss this further.

Where did they find him from? It was almost like listening to the chair of the Labour party.

It doesn't matter whether you are in government or the main opposition, whether you are Labour, Tory or any other party - the covid rules were for everyone.
