Keir Starmer Denies Breaking Lockdown Rules as it Emerges he Took a Private Acting Lesson During Covid Restrictions
Keir Starmer has denied breaking lockdown rules after it emerged he had a face-to-face acting lesson with a voice coach on Christmas Eve 2020 when London was under strict Covid restrictions. The Mail has more.
The Prime Minister insisted no rules had been broken as he was quizzed about his professional session with Leonie Mellinger on Christmas Eve in 2020.
London was under ‘Tier 4 restrictions’ at the time the actress and communications skills coach travelled to Labour HQ in Westminster.
The capital’s nine million residents were adhering to stringent ‘Stay At Home’ rules following a rapid rise in infections attributed to a new variant of the virus.
But according to a new book serialised in the Sunday Times, advisers to the PM said she she had “permission to travel as a key worker”.
People were able to travel for work if they “cannot work from home”, but the Tories questioned whether it was “right for other members of the public to get acting lessons during tier 4 restrictions”.
After a press conference at Nato headquarters in Brussels tonight the PM was asked if the sessions were a breach of lockdown rules, replying: “Of course not.”
Tory former Cabinet Minister Richard Holden has written to the PM demanding he explain why the lessons were in line with the rules.
“We all know that Sir Keir has that strange nasal, adenoidal, issue with his voice, so he may have considered it very important, whether or not the country did when they were all locked down is the question at the heart of the matter here,” he told GB News.
“I don’t think… acting classes were essential – we didn’t either, as a country, because we basically stopped those in-person university courses across the piste as well.
“It is also quite clear that at the time the Labour Party didn’t think so, because they had had virtual meetings with her, they are mentioned in this book as well.”
Get In, by journalists Patrick Maguire and Gabriel Pogrund, claims classically trained dramatist Ms Mellinger advised the Prime Minister on his speaking style.
Excerpts of the book published in the Sunday Times said she qualified for ‘key worker’ status and visited Labour Party headquarters wearing a face mask in December 2020, to advise Sir Keir on how to publicly respond to the Brexit deal.
A Labour spokesman said: “The rules were followed.”

“…face-to-face acting lesson…”
Is that what they call it now.
At least Neil Ferguson had the guts to admit he was having an affair.
Sorry, that is just speculation, obviously.
Discussing Uganda? Testing their eyesight?
Jesus Christ if this is him after acting lessons then I dread to think what he was like in is raw state. His adenoidal voice is the least of his evils just look at his record before he rose in party politics. The word that comes to mind is Nosferatu or unclean spirit. Just contemplating him makes me feel like I am covered in slime.
Undoubtedly Starmer has an exceptionally unlikeable character. Whiny, nasal voice, stern, stiff facial expression that looks permanently offended, robotic mannerisms, soulless, bureaucratic demeanor.
Something is missing.
A soul perhaps. We live in the neoliberal age where the more soulless and vacuous an entity the better it is to infect them.
Charisma, emotional intelligence.
Plagiarised from elsewhere but worth repeating.
‘Starmer has that look of a man answering the door to the police inquiring if there is a link between his wife’s disappearance and the newly laid patio in his back garden’
Hard to understand why a voice coaching session could not be satisfactorily done via Zoom or similar technology. Apart from anything else, coming across well on screen would be pretty important for a politician.
I do wish however that the focus would be on pointing out the folly and evil of “covid” rather than this kind of thing though. Realising the politicians were taking the mick might have woken a few people up but many have not yet joined the dots.
The point surely is that 2TFGStarmer wanted a longer and harder lockdown than we actually suffered. Stupid politicians set the rules then broke them. If 2TFGS was one such then he has to go though we might get something worse, hard as it is to imagine.
I disagree that he has to go. Let him stay and be exposed for the hypocrite that he is. If he resigns it just reinforces the view that the “rules” were important.
Is “voice coaching” a Labour euphemism for horizontal Olympics?
Lol, maybe.
Exactly what was going on will never be known but it takes some balls and some level of vanity to maintain this was an essential activity.
He is not known as Two Tier Kier for nothing. A definite pot and kettle moment given his adenoidal ranting at the Lying Oaf for his lockdown breaking. Still, without hypocrisy socialism would have no founding ideology.
A teenage boy stabbed and killed another teenage boy today at a school in Sheffield. The kids are not alright.😔 I wonder if this horrendous attack will follow the usual formula that’s become so predictable now;

Wasn’t this the time when loved ones were dying in care homes and denied visits and often died frightened and alone? Perhaps you can remind us Sir Kier Starmer.
What an insult this man is to the people of this country. 2 tier rules in the hard lockdown. A voice coach for goodness sake – not buying it!
Was this about the time our dear beloved late queen saluted her late and much lamented husband alone and masked?
Jiggy jiggy perchance?
We can go back to a path of beauty. We encountered Starmer and his ilk and such was there ugliness that we vowed never to allow anyting like it again. Dostoyevsky said that beauty would save the world. But before that we need to go through further purgatory as we are still filthy and sullied.
You don’t hear much of that do you – lets roll our sleeves up for purgatory. That’s what you need to hear.
If this actually happened as described then he broke lockdown rules – end of.
Following his own parties stand against BoJo he should therefore resign.
But surely the key question is this: did she bring cake?
By our stripes we are healed. Lets taste the whip together. Let the cat o nine tails rip your flesh apart. Can you not see that this is what you need?
He should ask for his money back.
He’s still utterly crap.
Human Rights barrister in need of voice coaching…
…And the best line Sir Two-Tier could come up with – “Lockdown harder and faster.”
Lord Alli should ask for his bung back.
The rules were bollocks. Let’s not forget that.
Never forgive, never forget.
Scotch eggs.
“PENALTY”

Voice coaching? And I’m a Labour voter. FFS!
And there’s more…

Well one of these two was playing away.
Yeah I posted above that working remotely for that job would work pretty well.
It’s fishy.
Yet another example of one rule for us and another rule for the elites.
This reminds me of the curry and beers Starmer, Rayner etc. enjoyed late at night while campaigning in the Hartlepool byelection. The police decided they didn’t break the totally crazy lockdown rules but a different police force decided Boris broke the rules because of a birthday/leaving party. It’s hard to believe that the decision whether or not to prosecute party leaders wasn’t politically motivated.
More chance seeing Lord Lucan riding Shergar down your high street than Starmer falling on his sword. He doesn’t follow laws, just sets them.
Like all the free gear ….. it’s the appearance of corruption/law-breaking which matters.
But someone on the Spectrum wouldn’t understand that.
Surely the pm has committed mistakes other than breaking lockdown rule.
Thank the gods Starmer wasn’t in power at the time of the ConVirus19 psyop and the subsequent march to quackcinate all (foolish enough to still trust authority).
