GB News broadcaster compares NHS staff eating pizza to No 10 parties – Twitter reacts

Trouble is, the picture was taken on 18th March, before coronavirus lockdown rules were introduced.

A GB News broadcaster stirred controversy on social media after comparing NHS staff eating pizza to parties held in government premises during lockdown.

Sophie Corcoran posted a picture of Whittington Health staff enjoying a Domino’s with the caption: “How is this any different to cake at the office?”

Boris Johnson has used the excuse that he didn’t realise a gathering in the Cabinet Room “just before a vital meeting on Covid strategy” could amount to a breach of the rules.

But as Peter Stefanovic pointed out, if that was the case, why would the prime minister’s wife and decorator be taking part?

Corcoran’s supposed allegation that NHS workers were also in breach of the rules seems to be embarrassingly thin, especially given that the picture was taken on 18th March, before any coronavirus lockdown rules were introduced.

Needless to say, the picture didn’t go down well on social media.

Perhaps you should delete your tweet since the photo was taken on 18 March 2020, before any coronavirus lockdown was introduced. pic.twitter.com/U65EZTEF3W

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
