Starmer questioned on whether voice coach visit breached lockdown rules

  • Sir Keir Starmer has been accused of breaching lockdown rules when voice coach Leonie Mellinger visited Labour headquarters on December 24, 2020, to assist him with his response to Boris Johnson's Brexit deal.
  • Richard Holden, a Conservative former minister, questioned whether Starmer thinks it was right for others to receive acting lessons during Tier 4 restrictions.
  • Starmer's team asserted that all rules were followed, and Mellinger qualified as a key worker, wearing a face mask during her visit.
  • Catherine McKinnell stated that the incident contrasts sharply with lockdown parties held at Conservative HQ, emphasizing that no COVID rules were broken.
