TROUGHING

Starmer supporters will claim Tory media has weaponised his acceptance of over £100k of freebies. This is untrue. The Guardian and Inde has been merciless.

Who is so vain he/she needs £2,400’s worth of glasses?

The Dame gets hers online for £30 a pair

For a one-time public prosecutor not to understand the conflict (and worse) to be so allied to Lord Alli beggars belief.

It is the stuff of the awful Boris Johnson whom Starmer and crew so criticised.

We can be certain of this…Corbyn, for all his thousand faults, would never have stooped so low. We expected more of Keir Starmer.

    Strarmer has got this wrong.

    Fair enough, he bought a season ticket for Arsenal FC. He paid for that with his own money. It is sensible that he sits in the Directors’ Box at the Ground so that there is no risk of anyone taking a potshot at him- no probs there – entirely sensible.

    However, his clothes and spectacles being paid for by donations is unacceptable. It is greedy.

    His wife’s wardrobe provided by generous donations is unnecessary and very greedy.

    He should apologise and mend his greedy ways. He can afford to buy his own clothes and so can his wife. He bought his own business suits when he was a barrister and the DPP. Lady Starmer can afford to pay for own wardrobe.

    Victoria Sponge, you make me die.

    Gifts for the greedy,

    It’s hard to know what he was thinking. Or perhaps he wasn’t thinking.

    His one real distinguishing feature was that he was squeaky clean, then he goes and blows it.

    Very disappointing.

    I wonder if Lord Ali would help me with the cost of a new Pierre Balmain suit or make a gift to Emma Dent Coad of a Coco Chanel little black dress.

    Did Lord Ali pay for Corbyn’s smart new look? For thirty years, Corbyn wore that ghastly brown tweed jacket with a plaid shirt and that scruffy beard- Sartorial Self-Styling the Trotskyite Way.

      Dear Dame,

      Do you remember “Junket Jack,” also known as “Alderman Vanity?”

      Jack Cunningham, Labour MP for Whitehaven (renamed Copeland.)

      He flew on Concorde and charged the taxpayer. (Reminds me of Sir Pooter’s Air travel to New York with dinner (‘Wimpy and Chips’) at the Four Seasons. Do you remember that?

      £10, 000 for a new desk in his new Departmental Office and guess what, we paid for it. He could have got a perfectly good desk in Ikea, the cutting edge in design.

      No Government on a Whitehall Settee for Junket Jack.

      At least Starmer has not claimed a Suits’ Allowance from the Public Purse. Nothing is too good for the proles.

      What’s next…………………?

        he has not gone in for anti semitism.

    new polling for The Times suggests that the scandal, and other recent controversies, have brought Labour’s honeymoon to an abrupt end. The YouGov poll found that one in seven of those who voted for Labour less than three months ago now regret doing so.

    Fifty-three per cent of voters — including a fifth of those who backed Labour in July — believe Starmer is doing badly as prime minister, while 34 per cent think he is doing well.

    Fifty-four per cent of voters said they were aware of Starmer’s clothing claims, with 64 per cent saying his decision to accept so-called freebies for his wife was unacceptable.

    While some MPs and senior party figures are understood to have made their concerns over the donations known to party whips, several Labour grandees chose to speak out in public.

    Clever of Nandy to talk about ‘Donations’. The impression given in using this noun is to imply that these people are like those who rely on charity. Starmer has proven to be a greedy man. His PM’s salary and pension equate to over £300k a year. Disgusting
    Lisa Nandy, the culture secretary, said on Saturday morning that Labour’s top team decided to no longer accept clothing donations because they do not want people to believe the government is “living very different lives from them”.

      David lamb had the cheeks to refer to donations to cover Starmer and his wife’s clothing bills as being necessary to make sure that the Prime Minister and his wife look their best. Apparently, donations in American provide funds for the wardrobes of the President and the First Woman.

      This is not America, Lammy.

        Labour is going to allow some Old Age Pensioners to freeze to death this winter owing to the abolition of the Winter Fuel Allowance.

        The Starmers cannot afford to buy business dress – please.

        Angel Rayner cannot afford to book in to a hotel in New York.
