Bear in mind, it wasn’t his flat.

I know it’s not of the same magnitude, but in the same way millionaire pensioners shouldn’t need to have their fuel costs subsidised neither should politicians need to have their specs, trousers, football hospitality, concert tickets and child’s library space subsidised.

You were trying to make some point about Sunak being a multi millionaire. I’m just making the observation that Starmer is also a multi millionaire.

It’s not really about religion, is it. Imagine you were Welsh and had been kicked out of Wales so a new state could be created. You would not be chuffed. And then that state expands by taking over neighbouring territory. Simplistic I know, but illustrative.

Is this the competence you were expecting Pete?

Starmer has taken the most freebies of any MP, his snout must be further in the trough than anyone’s. No wonder he won’t take lectures from the likes of us.

Starmer is a multi millionaire,

So, selective about what is disruptive then. As in one rule for one, another for everyone else. Or as socialists might put it, we are all equal but some are more equal than others. Or others might say service to self,

I’ve never been convinced that Starmer will remain PM for the entire period. So much sleaze so soon and such unprecedentedly poor early approval ratings just reinforce that feeling,

As @fernandopartridge suggested, there will be some beds blocked in the NHS over winter.

So he moved in to the flat so that his son’s study for GCSE would not be disrupted by an unexpected election. Lets hope he shows the same consideration to others and doesn’t introduce VAT on private education part way through an academic year causing potential catastrophic disruption for some...

He’s one of the working people, dontcha know, his father was a tool maker.

Service to self?

How very, very true your last sentence is. If only there had been a proper impact assessment carried out.

I’m not sure some people understand the concept of taking a stand on principle despite the issue not having a significant personal impact.

I explained why I’m angry about the way they have done it in the same post as saying it is not a particular financial problem to me personally. That isn’t service to self.
