Keir Starmer — ever a man of his word til the end.
In June 2023 he explicitly ruled out ever indulging in a resignation honours list (BBC Radio 4 Today).
Today he’s marked his resignation with 21 peerages, overwhelmingly public-sector/legal jobsworths. Barely a single wealth creator among them.
Classic line up of the New Establishment which has run the country under Labour and Tory governments for the past three decades and is now firmly in control. Largely (if not entirely) with the following characteristics:
*Career almost entirely in public sector, often taking salaries from several sinecures at once as they work up the greasy taxpayer-funded pole.
*Associated with various ‘right-on’ causes.
*Largely middle class, London chattering class, Oxbridge well represented (of course).
*Fashionable left but not too left. Good mainstream Labour links.
Thus is the antediluvian House of Lords perpetuated by the Left as well as the Right as a comfortable state-funded retirement home for the well-connected ‘good and great’ past their sell-by date — when it should simply be abolished.

A moving tribute, which you delivered superbly yesterday. Thank you Sam. @SamRobertsComms @BedfordBluesRFC

[Sam Roberts @SamRobertsComms]

What I wrote and said yesterday, on a truly touching and wonderful day, in memory of a great man. Incredible to see so many players back at @BedfordBluesRFC to pay their respects.

We are heartbroken to announce the passing away of club stalwart, Gareth Davies 💙

The absolute epitome of Bedford Blues! The former player, President and a true Club Legend will be missed by many 🔵🏉

Our thoughts are with Marie, Lucy and family at this difficult time.

@Will_Chudley Great career - well done

[Martin Bayfield @MartinBayfield]

Goldington Road and Bedford Blues are everything that is good about rugby. Team, fans and town all connected.

It has been a year to the day since I was diagnosed with MND. I often write little poems, here’s one to mark one year called ‘a year has passed since I was told’. It’s shit but I prefer it to posting a video 😁. Cheers and have a good day.

Great to see

Brilliant

Agree

[Denis J Ormesher @DenisOrmesher]

The situation at Worcester has parallels with how John Gurney nearly destroyed Bedford Rugby Club in 1999, and Luton Town FC in 2003. @WorcsWarriors @WorcsWarriorsW

BBC film is worth watching.
