Of course, IF (and that is a pretty big word in this context, given that it's the Mail!) Starmer was having a party where invitations were sent out, 30 people turned up etc etc that would be reprehensible (although I am sure the Johnson apologists on here would be quick to defend Starmer on the basis that this was a works gathering!). What that seems to be is a grainy photo of a bloke in a room with his work colleagues (even the article says that!). Desperate stuff.
Besides, isn't the point not *solely* these stupid parties? It's the lying (to both the HoC and the public), the self-serving cronyism, awarding multi million pound contracts to mates, trying to cover up a Tory MPs sleaze by changing the rules, thinking things you tell the rest of us to do don't apply to you etc etc. The party nonsense is just one facet of a rotten, rotten administration.
