"This is Keir Starmer you’re talking here" someone replied to me incredulously after I said he lived it up on expenses as DPP. So let's look instead at the hospitality he's been enjoying lately: more than £22,000 worth in the last year alone—averaging £1,800 a month in freebies.

Starmer was gifted £1,600 of tickets and hospitality for Spurs vs Arsenal in January by Getir, the rapid delivery company that has just got rid of around 300 UK workers with no notice, leaving the laid off employees "crying and angry." chargedretail.co.uk/2023/03/23/get…

All this is legal and of course there are Tory MPs who are worse, but £22,000 of hospitality is equivalent to a year's pay on the living wage—a strange look for a Labour leader. Obviously no one gives gifts to MPs without expecting something in return. members.parliament.uk/member/4514/re…

Wonderful, the "border security minister" is on the case
