Silly season stories: can you believe this desperate bid to blame Johnson’s Covid on Corbyn aide
This is very desperate, isn’t it?
Apparently the claim is that Seumas Milne, aide to Jeremy Corbyn when he was Labour leader, passed Covid-19 on to Boris Johnson – according to the Mail on Sunday:
So Number 10 invited Jeremy Corbyn, then 70, to a meeting in a "compact and airless" office that "offers the ideal conditions for the virus", at a time when members of the government were testing positive for Covid, and yet Seumas is the villain? pic.twitter.com/pwAS6SZbWG

Of course the real reason Johnson caught the virus is the one we’ve known all along: in the days before he imposed social distancing, he had been going around shaking hands with Covid-19 sufferers – getting right into the area where they could infect him.
But those medical experts at MoS thought it couldn’t be that, and concocted this Milne story instead.
Clearly they had some column inches to fill.
