Dorries slammed for sharing Mail’s latest Starmer lockdown story

It has been dubbed 'another low-point in British political journalism in a month full of them.'

It’s been a grim week of smears and accusations between Labour and the Tories and the Daily Mail’s latest attempt to slam Starmer appears to have backfired.

An article they posted about Starmer eating a curry to suggest wrongdoing was taken years ago.

The picture, which has been cropped, shows Starmer sitting and eating a meal next to Frank Dobson – a Labour politician who sadly died in 2019.

On Twitter, one person spotted this and wrote: “Note that the Daily Mail have cut the person on Starmer’s right out of the photo.

“That’s because it’s Frank Dobson who died in 2019. The photo is from 2015.”

Note that the Daily Mail have cut the person on Starmer's right out of the photo.

That's because it's Frank Dobson who died in 2019.

The photo is from 2015.https://t.co/0P8Abk6tK2

As ever though Nadine Dorries was more than happy to share the article on Twitter. S

he also wrote: “We are expected to believe that a curry and beers arrived for about 30 people at 10pm, and this was a break for a work meeting? No reasonable person believes Labours story, so why do Durham police and what were they told?”

We are expected to believe that a curry and beers arrived for about 30 people at 10pm, and this was a break for a work meeting?

No reasonable person believes Labours story, so why do Durham police and what were they told?

I'll say this: Nadine is sharing a cropped photo of @Keir_Starmer with the late Frank Dobson. If voting Labour means you can bring dead people back I shall be providing Mr Starmer with the people I want reanimated for my vote. Starting with my late grandmother. https://t.co/hZVyQ15j0q

If this – as people are saying is a photo from 2019 @NadineDorries is a disgrace – you are an embarrassment to your home city – if only you were as quick to call out your own corrupt ministers and MP’s https://t.co/3vofOpnuek

This photo is from 2015. The man Frank Dobson died in 2019. Nadine Dorries still hasn’t taken it down. This is the level of government minister. She regularly retweets lies https://t.co/2JiHrRrniz

The Daily Mail putting that picture of Keir Starmer eating a curry in 2015 – with a deceased Frank Dobson cropped out – within their “currygate” story is another low-point in British political journalism in a month full of them.

Hello. Former sub-editor here: one who used to work at the Daily Mail. That's not a stock photo. No one on a paper would call that a stock photo. A stock photo is something else. Her grip of editorial process is about as impressive as her knowledge of UK television. https://t.co/YzCTmXQt6w
