Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has vowed to “look into further allegations” surrounding Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, following the controversy of his meeting with a voice coach during the coronavirus lockdowns.
Speaking to GB News in an exclusive interview, Badenoch said: “I’m going to look into it more. I always remember during Covid that we broke some of our principles in terms of trusting people, personal responsibility, freedom. I always felt that the rules had gone too far.
“I was at the Covid inquiry last week. I talked about how I did not want vaccine passports. It was in all the records, so this is just yet another consequence. What is interesting is just how hypocritical Keir Starmer has been. I don’t know anyone who needs emergency voice coaching on Christmas Eve. I just think that is quite a dodgy story.”
Defending himself against the allegations, Starmer said in PMQs: “In December 2020, I was in my office working on the expected Brexit deal.
“With my team we had to analyse the deal as it came in at speed, prepare and deliver a live statement at speed on one of the most important issues for our country in recent years.
“That’s what I was doing. What were they doing? Suitcases of food into Downing Street, partying and fighting, vomiting up the walls, leaving the cleaner to remove red wine stains.
“That’s the difference – I was working, they were partying.”
