Camilla Cavendish (FT & Tory peer I should add) does sum up Keir Starmer's problem with Minsters' private actions well:
'this is a government whose hallmark is legislating for complexity. Ministers shouldn’t ask that we judge them by lower standards than they apply to everyone else....
A hallmark of Starmer’s administration has been its pious tone, which makes the hypocrisy doubly unpalatable.... at least Boris Johnson never pretended to be “good”.'
Which is fair comment, I think
