A freebie BY Starmer

"An undercover police officer has admitted that he spied on Keir Starmer while he was a radical barrister, a public inquiry has heard.The police spy has said that he accessed confidential details of the legal advice that Starmer was giving to two environmentalist campaigners in the well-known McLibel case in the early 1990s.The contents of the advice were then relayed by the spy to his managers in a covert Scotland Yard unit, the inquiry was told on Tuesday."And, somehow, that information got through to McDonalds.But, of course, Starmer has now changed utterly, despite that "education".https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/oct/15/undercover-policeman-admits-spying-on-keir-starmer-when-he-was-a-barrister

Some way through it gives some context although no acknowledgement of Theresa May or the actual name of the inquiry.Perhaps I missed it if I didn't it's pretty crap journalism."The public inquiry is examining how police deployed about 139 undercover officers to spy on more than 1,000 political groups between 1968 and at least 2010."

I think this is from the under cover inquiry set up by Teresa May.Not the only mention it should be noted:"Undercover policing inquiry: Keir Starmer urged to give evidenceCampaigners are asking whether Labour leader was involved in cover-up when he was in charge of the CPS"https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/feb/04/undercover-policing-inquiry-keir-starmer-urged-to-give-evidence

I wonder if the directors of McDonald's and their lawyers committed a criminal offence by using this illegally obtained information and could still be prosecuted?
