    If they prepare court proceedings against Farage, anything Starmer could say might be seen as prejudicing those. So he was right to keep his mouth shut.

      I don’t think the guardian editors are very bright. For some time now, the tone of the article has had the intellectual comprehension of a 12-year-old. Anyone with even moderate critical thinking skills can work this out.

      1. He used to be a lawyer
      2. As a former lawyer he will be acutely aware of legal processes
      3. Therefore when you ask him to comment about something that may soon be going to undergo a legal process he’s going to be aware that it’s a bad idea to answer
      4. You essentially have no story.

      Then they go the extra step and publish it anyway.
