Son of a poor toolmaker

 Starmer keeps going on about his humble origins.

He's the son of a "poor" toolmaker

Yet he went to private school and is a public servant yet his declared net worth is £7.7 Million

His house in Kentish Town is mortgage free and estimated to be worth £2M

His wife is an NHS worker and reported to earn just £50k per year so the £7M is not from her.

Kier Starmer was Director of Public Prosecutions - a role than pays £137,179.  A good salary but certainly not one that would allow you to accumulate £7M in wealth.

So how has Starmer managed to accumalate £7M in wealth? 

Apparently he own 7 acres of land in Surrey which was part of his childhood home and is thought to be worth £10M.  Hang on his net worth is £7M not £17M?  Didnt he come from a "poor" family that just happened to own 7 acres of land in Surrey worth £10M....

In 2023 Starmer had an income of  £404,030 yet only paid £99,431 in tax.  How come? He should have paid £178,633 in tax.   Surely Starmer isnt trying to evade tax for those with the broadest shoulders?

Also how has he managed to earn £404k ?  Starmer earned £128,291 from his salaries as an MP and leader of the opposition. Where did the other £300k come from?

Looks like Free-Gear-Kier may be getting freebies from somewhere else.

Trust - country first, party second - Labour's lies and dishonesty

 I would say trust is probably the number one thing in a successful marriage/relationship. This year we ended up in a new relationship with the Labour government - OK it felt like an arranged marriage but nevertheless it was a fixed term union of the people and Labour. Killjoy Starmer started off on the 5th July 2024 saying positive things about this marriage.  Here's some extract from  Killjoy's wedding vows:      "Country first, party second"      "When the gap between the sacrifices made by people and the service they receive from politicians grows this big, it leads to a weariness in the heart of a nation, a draining away of the hope, the spirit, the belief in a better future" [this was aimed at the outgoing Conservatives - not the weariness that Killjoy is inflicting upon us.]           "Now this wound, this lack of trust, can only be healed by actions, not words."      "I know that, but we ca...

Landlord EPC's part 2

Following on from the previous blog about the stupidity of  Labours EPC #C plans , I thought I would do a little more digging into EPCs. To start with I thought about doing an EPC assessor course. Prices are about £1,000+VAT for an on-line (not taught) course.  Pretty steep. I also looked into whether there's an on-line points calculator - the problem is you have to take the EPC report  as gospel and can't challenge it. If you do a quick search on-line you find horror stories where a property was C.  Then the EPC expired requiring a new EPC and the new assessor scored the property "D" - WORSE !!! The problem is EPC scoring is not transparent - you are in the hands of someone that did an on-line course for 3 days.  Has not got a degree in building science and will guess or assume the worst. The EPC assessors must think we are stupid and won't ask questions.... So in short who knows what the real EPCs of my buildings are. You can't discuss things with an EPC ass...

Les miserables - Labour's misery

 If I cast my mind back to 1997, Tony Blair entered government to  fanfare of positivity.  His adopted anthem of D:Ream Things Can Only Get Better echoing through the corridors of power. Tony was always positive, smiling.  I can't say I remember him fondly.  I'm still spitting feathers over Tony's then Chancellor Gordon Brown stealing £60k from my pension claiming I was the subject to pensions windfall tax for holding BT shares - annoying as BT was our biggest customer hence the company pension fund bought into BT.  Still at least Tony was smiling when he stole it from me.  Not once did he call me greedy. Anyway - the general population was upbeat despite Robin Hood Blair stealing from the not so rich and giving it to his Labour buddies (cronies nowadays). We genuinely believed things could get better. Then Miserable Brown came to power from Grinning Blair. He was always miserable.  Then things got worse as he trashed the economy.  We all bec...
