Just hours before Keir Starmer cynically announced his support for a full national lockdown, his health spokesman told the Commons that 'a full national lockdown would be disastrous for society'. Jonathan Ashworth added that he didn't believe 'anyone in the House is proposing that'. Hours later his own boss proposed just that. Click below for Ashworth's damning piece and note that the date is there for all to see.
This exposes the horrendous opportunism of Starmer's intervention, but the mainstream media won't challenge him about it. They'd rather give Labour a free ride on this as it stokes division and stirs up problems for the UK government. At a time of national crisis this is a shameful partisan collaboration from the media.
