A rare thing in politics, an apology! 08:29 - Feb 5 with 777 viewshomer_123

I hadn't realised that Starmer had apologised.

He was bang to rights, but very refreshing to see a politician make an apology.

Couldn't see Bojo doing the same, he would huff and puff and go on a whataboutery tangent.

Oh yeah, not in question, completely bang to rights as you say.

Basically he was caught lying by saying he never said we should have used the European Medical Agency, when in fact, on 3 occasions he stated it would be in our best interests, as a block to go with them.

They don't believe anything they say do they, they just make it up on the spot to score points.

Quite.

tory boys love a bit of whataboutism. It's the go-to position for the hard of thinking.

A bit strange wasn't it. Quite why he thought he'd get away with that is anyone's guess.

Starmer could still have at least part of a point though. Covid is a pretty unique situation and a rare case of of governments throwing money at vaccine development so the timescale was reduced substantially.

Bulk purchasing power in the EMA is normally an advantage and cheaper. There's the issue with waiving civil liability rights against manufacturers too. I don't know all the ins and outs of that, but I'd have thought we want those sorts of protections.

Although ironically, hype’s post along with yours and my my reply were all examples of whatabouterry.

Boris is a good egg. Starmer not so much.

Starmer's comments recorded in Hansard, as raised in a point of order from Francois, were from 31st January 2017. I'm not sure if he made similar comments once the pandemic had arrived but other Labour MPs have done so.
