      According to Prolific London, Sir Keir Starmer has a net worth of around £7.7 million, however, they share it could rise to between £10m and £15m when “taking his other revenue streams into account and the land he has held since 1996.”

      Not bad for an ex-civil servant.

        While Furhage had a net worth of £5m and is earning £1.2m a year.

        Not bad for a grifter.

          Did not Sir Keir play on his "poor family", "Mum was a Nurse", "Dad was a toolmaker", "man of the people" roots during Labour's election campaign? I think you'll find he did...

            A toolmaker at the top of his profession with his own successful company and multiple employees. Hardly a poor worker even by Starmers definitions....

              I'm sure "Toolmaker" sounded better to the proletariat than "Capitalist Exploiter of the working classes" - as we all know, "all property is theft" after all is said and done...

                Depends how you spin it. Its New Lie after all.

                  He had 20% of the voting population vote for him in the last election, so he is far more than just a "grifter".

                    I thought that was the Anarchist mantra.

                    (Although black flags are a little too conformist for my liking. As an Anarchist you should be able to wave any colour flag you like.)

                      You're exaggerating. Reform got 14.3% of the vote, not 20%. See:
                      2024 general election: Performance of Reform and the Greens (parliament.uk)

                      He really didn't. If he hadn't stood, Reform would still have got a considerable proportion of the vote. So the votes weren't for him". They were largely against the Tories.
                      I don't know about that. I'm no fan of Farage, but I have to acknowledge that he's got a cult of personality going on. Basically, when he moved from UKIP to Reform, he took most of their voters with him.
