Covid is a 'gift that keeps on giving' says ally of Sir Keir Starmer

Lord Falconer, the Shadow Attorney General, used the phrase during a briefing for a top City firm staffed by millionaire lawyers. The peer insists that he was referring to changes in the law triggered by the crisis.

Starmer shadow attorney general says Covid 'gift that keeps giving'

KEIR STARMER is facing a backlash after a senior Labour frontbencher was caught describing the Covid pandemic as a "gift that keeps on giving" for lawyers.

It more shows just how much of a battle any Labour leader is going to have. That shouldn’t even really be newsworthy.

He is a snide.

He purposefully made Labour's brexit position untenable.

Since he won the leadership contest he has been just about above hopeless. He shows the occasional sign of getting it but he has split the party, got rid of the left, membership is falling, the finances are in a mess and locally they are now begging people to do the hard yards.

None of it really matters though, in my humble opinion the Labour party is finished for at least a generation. The shadow cabinet is full of nomarks, there is no obvious replacement leader for Keith though such is the dearth of talent available.

Welcome to a generation of Tory exploitation .

Sadly, I agree with you. I don't know what he stands for or what his Labour party stands for. He is a one trick pony, only useful at showing Johnson up at PMQ's but lately not even very good at that.

I don't hate him, i am struggling to find reasons to like him. I honestly really wanted him to do well and I think he has probably got a good heart and he is no Tory, but he is no Labour leader either.

I suppose i am indifferent to him and that in itself says a lot because I have never been indifferent to a Labour leader before.

Well, I hate politicians at the best of times, but I really hate those that plot instead of having the principle not to back the 'leader'.

Whilst he usurped no one directly, he may as well have done. I might have respected a tiny bit more, the snivelling snake that he is!

At least Gove openly acts like series one 'Edmund Blackadder'!!

Here's another one for him to deal with.

Labour shadow attorney general says Covid is 'a gift that keeps on giving' for lawyers

THE LABOUR shadow attorney general has been caught on tape saying Covid is “a gift that keeps on giving” for rich City lawyers, it has been reported. Lord Falconer reportedly said the w…

That could backfire for the Tories, looking at the gifts of Covid contracts to cronies. In any case, most of the time these days "the gift that keeps on giving" is used ironically - it's been used of computer virus ransomware, last season for Arsenal fans, even of cancer by cancer sufferers.

I've not seen how it was said but it's the Tory press (and BBC) spinning it as as "giving to rich lawyers".

So the guy who thought Biden was the wrong guy to challenge Trump is now advising the Labour Party.

Winning that red wall back

He had a strange, very agitated manner right from the off this morning. What a bizarre choice by Starmer to bring him into his shadow cabinet.

When he was Labour leader he was supposed to be having his adenoids done to get rid of that 'bunged up' sound he has. He obviously never bothered.

I still think Ed is possibly the best the party has as well.

At least he showed some passion this morning when Marr allowed him to speak.

Ed was a better choice than his brother and of he had been given a fairer shot by our media and some in the party, he may have got a better result.

He was really ridiculed unfairly

Welcome to a generation of Tory exploitation .

The most damning thing is that labour still trail or have only got a nose in front of the current govt after the year we've had. All due to the points in your post.
