DAILY MAIL COMMENT: Keir Starmer turns hypocrisy into an art form By Daily Mail Comment Published: 01:31, 20 September 2024 | Updated: 01:35, 20 September 2024 e-mail View comments Standing in Downing Street on his first day in office, Sir Keir Starmer promised to lead a government of service. Given how partial he is to luxurious freebies from various benefactors, the Prime Minister would have been more correct to say self-service. While warning us to tighten our belts, it's galling he and his wife have been living high on the hog after accepting more than £100,000 of gifts and hospitality since 2019.
It is also a truly terrible look that the Labour-backing tycoon who clothed the wealthy pair was given a No 10 pass. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer celebrates the second Arsenal goal at Arsenal v Wolverhampton on August 17 While warning us to tighten our belts, it's galling he and his wife have been living high on the hog after accepting more than £100,000 of gifts and hospitality since 2019 Meanwhile, Labour grandee Baroness Harman has broken ranks to criticise the PM over his freebies and Labour aides are in open revolt over the bumper salary paid to his controversial chief of staff Sue Gray. Are the wheels buckling at No10 already? The PM took to the airwaves to insist he is 'completely in control', but after just 77 days in power, that hardly inspires confidence.
Sir Keir chose to make competence standards and ethics an election issue.He sanctimoniously portrayed the Tori.
