Starmer’s dad was a toolmaker. The original thread was that keir starmer is the most working class PM.... He may have started his life in a working class family. He's worked hard and done well for himself. But to call him working class now is incorrect he is who the left like to hate and socialists detest. A Millionaire land owner. He will finish work tonight at 6 and return to his million pound working class farm house on his working class land estate.. Starmer’s mum was a NHS nurse.

Starmer is from a poor family and was state educated and the first from his family to go to university. He did very well for himself. But is certainly from a working class background. Starmer has done really well for himself but no one believes he grew up poor do they? It's absolutely fine to come from a modest background there's no need for the stories of how they had broken windows they couldn't fix and how their electricity kept getting cut off. I'm just glad it wasn't a winter election or he'd have been wearing bin bags and drinking his own piss................ He’s working class compared to Jezza Corbyn.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Millionaire land owner sir keir starmer the most working class... Come on guys take the rose tinted specs off and speak some truth. Callagan, thatcher, May, Lloyd George, Major. were not multi millionaires when they became pm. Starmer is from a poor family and was state educated and the first from his family to go to university. He did very well for himself. But is certainly from a working class background. Did his dad own the tool factory or just work there? I genuinely don't know.

It’s no worse than any of the Republicans who slammed him at one time or another only to then freshen up for rimming him during his Presidency.

Given that they’ve largely ignored it, I assume it’s bogus.

Loved the story earlier about his mum and dad turning up to his Knighting in a banged up old Volvo with their great Dane in the back.
Some of the palace staff had to walk it whilst they went in 😆

Smart move by Starmer today.
I mentioned some tie ago that the astute Harold Wilson was clever at retaining control of the Labour Party by giving difficult jobs to those rivals for his leadership. That way they tarnished their reputation and their threat was minimised. He put his deputy George Brown in charge of Economic Affairs. He made Barbara Castle First Secretary of State, the second-most senior member of the Cabinet, as well as Secretary of State for Employment. In the latter role, Castle fiercely advocated the passage of the In Place of Strife legislation which would have greatly overhauled the operating framework for British trade unions. In that way he stitched them up as potential rivals.
Starmer has given Rayner the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities. That should keep her busy and quiet. I can imagine being at a future cabinet meeting and the question posed "How's affordable housing coming along Angela?" "Sorry Sir Kier, Rachel won't give me any more money".
