Normally, it takes a new government a good year for the cracks to start showing. For Labour, it’s taken less than three months. The ongoing freebie scandal involving Sir Keir Starmer and his close ally, Lord Alli, is laying bare the staggering hypocrisy of the Labour leader. Last night, Guido exposed how Starmer filmed his 2021 “work from home, even if it’s inconvenient” video from Alli’s £18 million penthouse—hardly an image of integrity and transparency from ‘Mr Rules’. Sir Keir’s morning coffee will have gone down bitterly today, with headlines from all sides picking up Guido’s scoop…

The Daily Mail splashed: “How Starmer ‘hoodwinked public by filming Covid video in Lord Alli’s £18m penthouse – dressed up to look like his OWN home'”

The Times‘ front page: “Keir Starmer used Labour donor’s £18m flat for pandemic speech”

The Telegraph: “Keir Starmer Covid broadcast urging work from home came from donor’s £18m penthouse”

The Guardian: “Starmer defends borrowing £18m flat as place for son to study during election”

The Independent: “Starmer: It is important to look at the ‘human story’ behind a donation”
