Keir Starmer sparks fresh fury after using Labour donor’s penthouse during Covid-19 pandemic: 'Staggering!'

In a video message recorded in December 2021, Starmer urged Britons to stay at home whilst sitting in Lord Alli's £18million penthouse.

Starmer told the nation: "I understand that sticking to the rules can be inconvenient, but stick to the rules we must... It would be easy to let the festivities we’ve all been looking forward to divert us from our national duty."

However, the Prime Minister’s press secretary has assured that no Covid rules had been broken by the use of the flat for the broadcast. When asked if Starmer was "completely confident" that all the rules at the time had been obeyed, she simply said "correct".

Reacting to the latest Labour controversy, GB News host Andrew Pierce said it was "staggering", highlighting that Starmer has "had his nose in Lord Alli's trough for far longer than we thought".

Andrew fumed: "We thought this was just about clothes and spectacles, posh designer glasses in the run up to the general election.

"Why did he need to be in Lord Alli's apartment during Covid? Why is he lecturing the country that you've got to work from home, stay at home, when he's not at home?"

Highlighting a key factor of the video, Andrew noted that the PM had also "dressed the apartment" to make it look like it was Starmer's genuine home.

• Keir Starmer promises homes for ALL military veterans in ‘real step forward’: ‘We can guarantee’

Andrew exclaimed: "You see there, he dressed the house up to look like he was at home - there were Christmas cards on the shelf. What is going on?!"

Offering her thoughts on Starmer's use of Lord Alli's penthouse, host Bev Turner questioned the significant influence of Alli on the Labour Party over several years, without the public's knowledge.

Bev fumed: "We have to ask in 2024 why this man has exerted so much influence over the Labour Party. He's given the Labour Party more than £500,000.

"Nobody should be having that much influence on our democratic process behind the scenes, keeping themselves completely silent without us knowing what they want for that access."

In agreement with Bev, Andrew continued: "It's the subterfuge the Prime Minister's deployed here, making the video about Covid, making it look like it was his own home. That's subterfuge, that's deception.

"He's got his fingers in so many pies. He gave the Prime Minister designer, specs, designer suits - why can't he buy his own clothes?

"He paid £5,000 for Lady Starmer's clothes. And you know her new nickname now? Lady Victoria sponger. Waheed Ali paid £5,000 for her clothes, did she look like she was wearing £5,000 of gear at the Labour conference? No. She was wearing another frock that was borrowed."
