Keir Starmer

Rosie Duffield demolishes the Prime Minister in her resignation-of-the-party-whip letter. Kudos.

Absolutely nails Starmer and what he's all about.

Fair play to the lassie.

The attack poodles will be doing the rounds smearing her tomorrow.

[TheDeeDon]

Another 12k on clothes and £3k on glasses for Starmer disclosed. Along with accommodation worth around £20k, so his son could study in peace.

The guy is an utter c*nt.

Woof. Absolutely despise some of this woman’s views.

That said she has nailed parts of that. Pity the rest of it reads as her more being butt hurt at Starmer nae taking her on.

Still, looking forward to the fall out.

He’s clearly entirely out of touch with reality and these actions demonstrate the prevailing culture that has become normal for many in contemporary politics. Why the f*** should he feel a sense of entitlement to free designer glasses, accommodation for his son and dresses (he claims are for his wife) on account solely of his position in politics, whilst the rest of us have to fund much more modestly prices versions of these things for ourselves!? He must also be a bit dim, which I didn’t expect.

I'm not sure if this is true, but just learned that Starmer is a millionaire in his own right.

Probably classed as a 'poor' millionaire, in that his fortune is totalled at around three million.

There is a whole act of parliament about his pension from when he was director of public prosecutions.

The legislation effectively means that he was exempt from the lifetime pension savings limit of pension funds over £1.73 Million. A true philanthropist!

Whole Westminster bubble out of touch. Heard a Times journalist today saying that the solution was to up politicians pay so they weren’t ‘forced’ to accept these hand outs. Dearie me.

Besides there’s not a salary big enough that would stop these people still accepting freebies.

The salary they earn isn't the thing anymore for most of them.

They are mostly quite happy to slum it in the commons for a few years knowing that even a very small and brief ministerial role, will reward them afterwards when they step down/get kicked out.

We need to look more closely at the businesses and individuals donating to these parties and individual MPs in a big way.

You are not donating all this money/goods to parties and politicians for nothing in return.

There’s a way out of all this you know.

Just saying like
