Sir Keir Starmer
Is Sir Keith a hypocrite?
As Lawyer, Human rights etc he has amassed £7.7m.
He calls on bans for MPs serving as Directors, whilst he has earned £115,000 in the past six years on extra works not connected with Parliament.
You decide.

Re: Sir Keir Starmer
A lot of industrialists get to them for charity work.probably saves them paying it on tax. Bliar when he was in was accused of selling them ? His excuse was it was for the funds donated to his party. Honours are only supposed to be given to people with clean records , no police arrests etc. I can think of one at least sitting in the House of Lords who has done prison time . Although they are issued through the Head of the Monarchy they are awarded through the government. The queen herself has her own private awards which she chooses to give herself , which the pollies keep their sticky fingers out of. They are the Order of Merit ,and the the Royal Victorian Chain, as far as I know , others may know better. JS
Usually Ex PMs get them when they leave politics I never heard of Bliar if he got one or not ? JS ...

Re: Sir Keir Starmer
to me he is a typical spiv lawyer he has not yet come up with what labour would do during this pandemic yet he picks away at all that is being done? this is one time in our history all members should pull together but no he pics at meetings over a year ago wanting inquiries costing millions for the panel if he was to come up with just one idea that would help during this time the labour party would look in a better light he is not a leader in my eyes? jp

Re: Sir Keir Starmer
Agree there John, and the poison he is being fed from someone within Boris,s camp, much like the camera in the office of the health secretary that no one knew was there.Who took and released the latest photo in the garden at no 10. Some nasty people working within the back room boys, anything to undermine the government, at a time where we are fighting a pandemic,

Probably the only view that the Labour Party will ever get of No 10 garden.
Seems strange to me there appears to be no non-disclosure rule pertaining to what's happening within the confines of No 10, even for security purposes, and, if there is one, will the person taking and releasing the photograph for breaching said rules be prosecuted.
