Keir Starmer

Not really, he’s just a sad sack.

He’s in good company. The 5 or 6 who have been camped in this and the Labour thread for the past 3 months are the definition of sad sacks.

Posts like this and your earlier one amuse me tbh as we have had years of the exact same thing re Tories yet as soon as it’s a Labour politician being targeted it’s not on?

Sorry but it is on, it’s to be expected I’m afraid.

They forever mocked bluentrue before becoming him.

What exactly is he finding on an hourly basis that is significant ?

Seems for some the grieving process is going to take longer

£221.20 is, currently, the MOST you can get, with a full NI contribution record. There are tens if not hundreds of thousands who get nothing like that amount.

There are over 2.3m in poverty (so below that number). 1.5m claim pension credit and the rest (800k) is number the government says “don’t claim it”.

There are a further 1m pensions who receive up to £50 per week more than the poverty level (£218.50) so are surviving on less than £269 a week who are absolutely going to struggle and have no support

There is then another group of around 400-500k pensioners who are also considered will be put in to great hardship as they receive not much more.

This is where Age UK get their 2m will be put at risk figure from. Those not claiming + those with £50 per week of poverty level + those just a little above that. They assume some will claim who currently don’t.

If I was PM I’d be freeloading like fuck.

It's one I'm torn on.

If you're head of country. Having to work every single day making decisions which some we won't be privvy too, why not take the footy tickets. Watching your team is probably more therapeutic than cocaine.

I'd like to see him go full Tarquin in the corporate box mind.

You could argue that Sunak, for all his faults, was different in that he actually spent his own money on things, rather than taking freebies from people who then rather mysteriously end up receiving security passes for No. 10, despite having no real reason for doing so.

But then according to the usual suspects on here, and ironically Starmer himself, having a successful career and being well paid for it makes people out of touch. Whereas telling people that the country’s fucked and inventing a false narrative so that you can take money off pensioners who were already struggling to pay for their heating, before then gallivanting around the country on a variety of freebies - even having people pay for you and your wife’s clobber and then failing to declare said donations - makes you alright.

Sunak probably back filled the treasury when needed as well. Utter nonsense spouted by an idiot.
