According to reports, a Labour frontbencher called Boris Johnson a “murderer” for how he handled the outbreak, echoing the Tory “scum” controversy.
The alarming statement is reported to have been uttered earlier this year by Rosena Allin-Khan, a Shadow Health Minister, in relation to the Covid policy of the previous Prime Minister.
It comes after the controversy sparked by Angela Rayner, the deputy leader of Labour, referring to the Conservatives as “scum” at the Labour Party Conference last year. She apologised afterwards.
The contentious remarks are said to have been made by Ms. Allin-Khan in a Shadow Cabinet meeting at March. Boris Johnson “is directly responsible for the death of tens of thousands of people,” according to one witness.
They called her comments “severe” and “crazy,” and they said that “everyone were glancing at each other when she said it.” Some of us believed that she was speaking so that it would be leaked to the Left in support of her desire to head the party.
The Tooting MP, Ms. Allin-Khan, has been charged with leadership espionage many times.
The meeting took place around the same time that the Labour high command barred her from speaking to the media as a result of her interviews against Sir Keir Starmer’s orders.
A survey conducted last month for the website LabourList included a part titled “Rosena Questions” that focused on the leadership abilities of prominent Shadow Ministers.
‘Rosena can’t recollect remarks that may or may not have been uttered in Shadow Cabinet six months ago,’ a person close to her claimed. The language being spoken is unfamiliar to her.
