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.

I am passionate about improving animal welfare but if the Government is looking at lobsters then it seriously needs to look at non stun slaughter methods of animals, such as Halal and improve food labelling so people know how meat has been sourced and can avoid non stunned meat

At the height of the British empire, less than 500,000 British civil servants ran 25% of the entire planet. They did this without computers, internet, phones or income tax!

Today we have over 6Million government employees for one tiny island… increasing by over 5000 new hires per month.

The mask slipped. This is how the left really sees migrants: useful, cheap labour who are suited to do the 'shitty jobs' considered to be beneath lefty middle class graduates. https://t.co/rwXK4EkJkZ

The ‘poverty’ in ‘child poverty’ is calculated using a communist relative measure:

Anyone living below 60% of the median income.

It’s is not a measure of material poverty at all. It is a measure of income inequality.

Kemi Badenoch launches a devastating full broadside at Rachel Reeves in the wake of the Budget catastrophe.

We’re about to have a terrible lesson in economics.

@VodafoneUK No broadband or 5G - what's going on?

@NicholasLissack @Keir_Starmer @churchofengland It has nothing to do with Sarah Mullally. Her seat is St Paul's Cathedral, not Canterbury.

@Rgt71Robert @bishopSarahM @OfficeofABC We should keep the dialogue open, sympathise and forgive, not lock people out

@robprogressive @DaysofNHS ?
