Between a speech and a snore
Starmer accused of breaking lockdown rules for hiring voice coach during COVID
Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer hired actress Leonie Mellinger in December 2020 when he was Labour leader and when London was in Tier 4 restrictions...
Conservative former minister Richard Holden has written to Sir Keir asking whether he thinks he was breaching the law.
A Labour spokesman said: "The rules were followed at all times."
It is understood Sir Keir was working at the time with a small team that was preparing him for a response to Mr Johnson's Brexit deal, with a TV camera filming it all.
Oftentimes they were asleep, but occasionally might be heard talking together, in voices between a speech and a snore, and with that lack of energy that distinguishes the occupants of alms-houses, and all other human beings who depend for subsistence on charity, on monopolized labour, or anything else but their own independent exertions.

A spokesperson for Sir Sneir said "It's different when we do it."
dearieme - I wonder if the voice coaching was another freebie? That's different when they do it.
Poor girl, revealed to be Sir Sneir's voice coach. Will her business survive?
dearieme - possibly not, because when I next consider a voice coach, I'll be looking elsewhere.
Maybe "Sbash the gags" is what "Smash the gangs" sounds like in a mask. And as for "hostages"...
Sam - ha ha - in those days he thought people were listening.
Well, that is Leonie's voice coaching career trashed.
She should have had a non-disclosure clause in her contract.
The lady that gave Gort a voice.
Breaking lockdown rules to bring a voice coach to the shadow HR department during covid, just proves he's a hypocrite. We already knew that.
Doonhamer - ha ha, Gort indeed, we're inundated with good names for... what's his real name?
Bucko - he comes across as something of a nutter who doesn't see things he should see.
