It’s hilarious if it wasn’t so serious. Like Haman in the book of Esther- Free Gear Starmer is hoisted on his own petard. A pompous fool pontificating to the needy and other politicians about how righteous he is then freely indulging in corrupt behaviour.

The wife looked pretty frumpy to me in that orange designer dress - above she looks better. What kind of politicians and their wives let others dress them?

All this makes me very suspicious of Starmer’s motives and judgement. Those that cast the first stone or pick out splinters in other need first to look at themselves.

As an aside when will Starmer replace that fool Lammy?

Writing from the U.S. here. Do progressives present to you as more ENTITLED to perqs than those to their right?

I did my PhD in the UK, and served on student government for the grad school. We threw a watch party for an election, bought wine using our designated budget. I'll never forget that my most ardent ideological opponent to the left bought a really expensive bottle... that he kept to himself during the soirée.

Anecdata, to be sure. Still, I see it on this side of the water, most certainly....
