Challenging Appearance

Another man buys the bras and knickers of Keir Starmer's wife. Pass it on. The reports are unclear, so did Lord Alli pay for alterations to Lady Starmer's clothes, or for alterations to Lady Starmer, or for both? All of the answers to "What does Alli get out of this?" are jokes. But it is a very serious question. No less serious is Starmer's failure to declare seventy-six thousand pounds. Imagine that, say, Jeremy Corbyn had done that. On Corbyn, see here and here. We were right all along.

David Lammy is wrong that there is a budget in the United States to clothe the President and the First Lady. If there were, then it would not be doing as he suggested. Successive Presidents' and First Ladies' "appearance has been challenged", to put the matter at its very mildest. But whether or not such a thing existed there, I dare this Government to introduce it here. A Government that has nothing left to lose.

In the summer of 1992, official opinion was that the Conservative Party was going to be in power forever. Yet all of that came crashing down on 16 September. From then on, the Major Government was in its last days. Those dragged on for four and a half years. But everyone knew that they were its last days. Likewise, the Starmer Government has entered its last days. Stretched out over almost an entire Parliament. But still obviously its last days.

  1. The President can buy clothes out of his $50,000 general expenses but the First Lady doesn't get a cent.

    1. The President also has an annual salary of $400,000.

      We all need clothes, so what do we do? We buy them.
