Summary at a Glance

Cops will NOT probe Sir Keir Starmer’s voice coach over ‘Covid rules breach’ as it is too late to prosecute POLICE have ruled out investigating whether the PM’s voice coach broke Covid rules — because it is too late to prosecute anyone.

As No10 came out swinging after days of stonewalling about why Sir Keir Starmer met Leonie Mellinger in person during 2020’s tier 4 lockdown, the Met confirmed it had received a complaint.

The all-clear came as No10 insisted the actress and speech coach was a paid member of a small core team vital to preparing the Labour leader for a virtual briefing.

Ms Mellinger, once wed to actor Robin Askwith, from the bawdy 1970s Confessions films, was asked to help the then-Opposition leader sound more natural.

No10 also admitted now-Chancellor Rachel Reeves was at the working gathering at Labour HQ despite London being under “stay at home” orders.
