I feel like the net is closing in on Mr Integrity, Mr Rules, Mr Morality. Our Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Yesterday it emerged that Starmer had lessons from an actress in his office on Christmas Eve when London was in tier four Covid restrictions. Now he got very angry when people asked if he'd broken any rules.
But then it emerged that the voice coach and actress Leonie Mellinger appeared to have travelled from a tier three to a tier four area in order to meet with the Labour leader in person. This would be against the rules. Labour initially tried to claim she was a key worker.
But today it emerged that she was not officially employed by the Labour Party at the time of her little visit to Labour HQ. So it appears that rules were broken and the key worker line doesn't quite hold water either.

Well, after all, ask yourself this if you wanted to receive lessons from an actress in your office on Christmas Eve. Do you think that that would have been allowed? I suspect not.
There are other problems for Sir Keir, aren't there?
The fact that his voice coach was advertising her services in an online capacity, she was not simply doing face to face meetings.
So why did she have to go and see the leader of the opposition in person?
It seems especially odd considering that Sir Keir reportedly cancelled Labour's Christmas party when London was moved into tier three restrictions and he went into isolation for about ten days when a member of his private office tested positive for Covid.
Just eight days after the isolation period, it appears that he was happy to meet the voice coach in his office after she had traveled between tears to get there.
That's certainly the allegation, anyway. According to reports, he had previously been willing to meet her online.
Keir Starmer is under fire PASo why that sudden change? There are other issues for Keir Starmer, of course.
The other problem for the Prime Minister is this, this Government has a record disapproval rating of around 64 per cent. His personal approval ratings are shocking as well.
It is rumoured that two members of his cabinet have started leadership manoeuvres behind the scenes. One of his own MPs was on news this morning, refusing to say that he should resign.

Yesterday, the Met Police told GB News that they could not investigate anything because nobody had reported it to them.
Well, now quite a few people have and we are yet to hear if they will open an investigation.
As it stands, both the Prime Minister and the actress deny any wrongdoing. But I have a feeling this may turn out to be a very expensive lesson.
