Labour leader Keir Starmer has been accused of misleading the public after a video urging people to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic was revealed to have been filmed in a luxury London penthouse belonging to Labour peer Lord Alli.
Sir Keir Starmer was accused of ‘hoodwinking’ the public after telling Britain to work from home during Covid from the comfort of Lord Alli ’s luxury penthouse.
Behind Sir Keir were a picture of his family – wife Victoria and their two children – and an assortment of Christmas cards, creating the impression, especially given the ‘sticking to the rules’ message being delivered, that the video was shot in his family home in Kentish Town, north London. It has emerged the clip where the now Prime Minister filmed his COVID-19 response was in Lord Waheed Ali's luxury pad
Tory MP Dr Kieran Mullan added: ‘Starmer says he is “Mr honesty and integrity”. If that was not his home, then he has apparently lied to the public. Urging people to get booster vaccination jabs, he said: ‘We must all put the national interest first and play by the rules. They insisted no social distancing guidance in place at the time was breached but did not offer an explanation as to why he did not film the address in his own home. Asked if the PM was completely confident that no lockdown rules were broken at the time, his press secretary replied: ‘Correct.’Lord Alli was ennobled by Sir Tony Blair in 1998.
