They’re like any other tabloid. When they smell blood they pounce.

Sorry I wasn’t clear in what I meant. When tabloids see the mood turning they try and get ahead of it. The blood all over the shop for months hasn’t had cut through (PPE, Arcuri, general response to covid). This story seems to have legs and so they are going with it.
You rightly cite Gove, and he is why they feel comfortable doing it. They aren’t going for Johnson because they suddenly have a heart
lol
I think it's because Starmer, despite making early strides, has failed to craft any sort of public persona and has been caught between being supportive of the vaccination rollout and holding the government to account.
Surely the defense that 'we are entirely focused on the pandemic' can't be maintained with any degree of sincerity anymore.

Some pretty obvious 'the man is an absolute tight arse unless it's public money he's spending' vibes going on from journalists.
Disgusting stuff really. The entitlement is shocking enough. "One simply must live how one is accustomed, darling".
How on earth are these people ever meant to be able to even begin to understand and care about the needs of people who are scraping to get by?
There's having nice stuff you've earned, but there's being self-absorbed entitled scumbags. Which he's clearly bent the rules to obtain. Yet they carry on like they're better.
And that's why I don't like him or his ilk. Ponces.

Rishi Sunak redecorated his Downing Street flat 'at his own expense'
Rishi Sunak redecorated his Downing Street flat last year 'entirely at his own expense', the Treasury revealed yesterday as the storm raged over Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds' refurbishment.
How come the same bloke who once referred to £250k as "chicken feed" can't afford £58k to redecorate a flat?
Oh, hang on. He's a blagger and a ponce.
