Keir Starmer Covid broadcast urging work from home came from donor’s £18m penthouse! B
Labour leader appeared to be speaking from his own house but was instead in Lord Alli’s flat
Sir Keir Starmer urged the public to work from home in a Covid-era broadcast from a Labour donor’s £18 million penthouse.
The Christmas message was reportedly filmed in Lord Alli’s flat in December 2021, when Sir Keir was leader of the opposition.
It was broadcast five days after the Tory government announced new guidance aimed at limiting the spread of a new strain of Covid-19, which urged people to work from home where possible.
The Labour leader appeared to be speaking from his own home, with the shelves behind him lined with Christmas cards and a picture of his family.
However, the political blog Guido Fawkes reported on Wednesday that the footage was actually shot in Lord Alli’s multi-million-pound penthouse.
The room was identified from designer shelves behind Sir Keir that had previously appeared in a video from inside Lord Alli’s flat.
