Starmer has been accused of lifting deceit to a new level. He claimed the Chagos Islands handover would cost £3.4 billion, but it’s revealed to be £35 billion—ten times more. This significant discrepancy has fueled outrage, as critics demand transparency and honesty. The issue highlights concerns over trust in leadership and the importance of accountability in political dealings.

 

1. The 10 pledges con. Starmer won the Labour leadership by promising 10 hard-left policies, from scrapping tuition fees to ending the two-child benefit cap. Once in charge, he dumped the lot (to be fair, that was a good thing).

2. The Winter Fuel betrayal. Before the election, he led pensioners to believe the Winter Fuel Payment was safe. It wasn’t.

3. The social care stitch-up. He also stayed silent on scrapping the £86,000 social care cap, then binned it without warning in a huge blow to the elderly.

 

4. Waspi women abandoned. Starmer publicly demanded pledged “fair and fast” compensation for millions 1950s women hits by the rising state pension age. He took their votes and dumped them after taking office.

5. Breaking his ‘no tax rises’ vow. During the campaign, he repeatedly swore not to hike taxes on “working people”. Chancellor Rachel Reeves then hiked employer’s National Insurance (NI) by £25billion. The Office for Budget Responsibility calculates that 75% of the cost will be passed onto working people in lower wages and higher prices.

6. Then lying about what he’d said. As I exposed yesterday, the Labour manifesto pledged not to increase NI. Yesterday, the Treasury fiddled that, lyingly claiming Labour had stuck to its promise not to increase employee NI. That after-the-fact lie is so blatant even my blood is boiling now.

7. Betrayed farmers. Starmer promised “certainty” to farmers, then hit them with inheritance tax on agricultural land. Hard-working farming families now face a lifetime of uncertainty.

8. Family firms misled. He vowed to work with business, then slapped NI and IHT on family-owned companies. Many firms will have to sell up when the founder dies, simply to cover the bill.

9. The ‘black hole’ lie. Starmer and Reeves dishonestly claimed to have discovered a £22billion black hole in the public finances to justify tax hikes they hadn't mentioned in the election. Outraged, the normally measured Institute for Fiscal Studies said the hole had been “obvious to anyone who dared to look”.

10. Interest rate fiction. Never trust Starmer around a number. He casually told Parliament Labour inherited interest rates of 11%, more than double the true figure of 5.25%. Didn't he think someone would check?

11. Brexit double-deal. His EU deal was a backdoor return to freedom of movement, betraying British workers despite election claims. He also sold out UK workers in his India trade deal.

12. NHS outsourcing U-turn. In a bid to woo the Labour left, Starmer vowed to end private NHS contracts. Now he's used them to treat 500,000 patients.

13. The gender truth dodge. The PM can't even give a straight answer on what a woman is. Do they have penises? Don't expect a straight answer.

14. Cosying up to Beijing. Our lawyer PM talked tough on human rights, then embraced closer ties with Xi Jinping’s China while clamping down on civil liberties at home. Labour was also buying green tech built by Chinese slavery, until backbench MPs forced a climbdown.

16. The social care numbers trick. Boasted of an £880million funding boost but hid that Labour's NI hikes will cost children's hospices and care homes £900million.

16. Border control collapse. The PM's promises to “smash the gangs” behind Channel crossings are meaningless. Nearly 50,000 illegal migrants have arrived since he took office.

17. Paying France to fail. Taxpayers send millions to France to “stop the boats”, and the French just watch them leave.

18. Freebie mania. Starmer's off-the-chart hypocrisy is shown by the way he's accepted more than £100,000 in gifts, including football and concert tickets, more than any other political leader in recent times.

19. Clothing cover-up. He also failed to declare £5,000 worth of clothes for his wife from donor Lord Alli. It was later repaid, but only AFTER being exposed.

20. Accommodation perks. Oh yes, and Starmer also took free stays and other benefits from donors, fuelling “Freebiegate” claims.

21. Beergate unanswered. Boris was forced out by Partygate transgressions, among other things. Starmer somehow wriggled out of any charges, despite knocking down beer and curry with 17 people at the height of the pandemic. Apparently, it was "necessary work".

22. Infecting others with his lies. Dishonesty spreads: I caught out Reeves on 12 rotten lies within months of taking office.

23. Rushanara Ali hypocrisy. His housing minister backed reforms to stop landlords evicting tenants then hiking rents. Turns out she’d done it herself. In contrast to Starmer, she quit when found out.

24. Dishonesty culture. Labour’s culture of double-dealing rolls on, with Starmer setting the tone from day one.

 

The PM says one thing, does another, and thinks people won’t notice. Boris was forced out of Number 10. How is Starmer still there?

C'mon @Chomper Higgot

 

Let's hear your defence, of liar, liar, pants on fire ( as well as 2 properties and a car ) Starmer.

 

Ye Gawds, there was some mutants in the last Tory Government. Starmer is making them look good.

 

And the less said about his Cabinet, the better. Most of them were grown on Corbyns allotment, cabbages.

Because Labour won and still holds the majority in parliament.

Are you feeling a tad cranky?

 

Perhaps I should apologize for not giving you the attention you do obviously crave?

Nah, I don’t think I should encourage unhealthy fixations.

 

 

How lovely only 25 lies….count yourselves very very lucky.

Yes, an improvement on the number of Boris lies!  

 

Another Express article!  Politicians lie - shock!

Starmer has lost the trust of the people.

 

He is widely despised. 

 

A tyrant and a liar. The enemy of the British people. 

 

Good luck at the next election.

I didn't ask you about me.

 

I asked you about the lies in the OP, and what garbage you were going to come out with in an attempt to defend Starmer.

 

Obviously you are unable to do so, which is why you spout garbage about me.

. After your defence of him lying in Parliament over the £3.5 Billion cost of the Chagos deal, I was interested in what you might have to say about the lies in the OP.

 

Still not managed a squawk, about Starmers lies in the OP 😀😀😀

Its the old saying " If you give it out expect a bit back Symdrone Cyclist. Some on here like dishing it out but can't take it back. If there pushed they resort to Abusing comments or simply walking away.

I think it may be because Starmer is a "hansum man" compared to compared to Boris (and Thatcher come to think of it).

Things are far worse than the UK having a lying, incompetent prime minister. While that is bad enough there are rumours of covert, but large scale, conversions to Islam by senior members of the UK police and judiciary.

Too pathetic to blame him for all the mistakes and mismanagement of the former Tory government.

Absolute nonsense, he did get reelected, but you might be exaggerating just a tad on the lies!🙄

But then deflecting is always the answer when you dont have one!

The issue in the UK is that there is insufficient social spending and low taxes. 

He is just following Sharia law as he prepares  for a luxury retirement in Qatar.

No.

If you inherit a desolate country and financial situation you can't solve the problems within a year or two.

The times when manna was raining from heaven are over.

And your deflection shows the common Tory propaganda. And it works on you.

You cant blame the past Government. Your sounding like starmers mob always blame the past, over crowding prisons [ blame te tories, NHS waiting list [ blame the tories ] or the 1 they like repeating " We inhereted a 20 billion blackhole " but keeping the origin price hidden from us  of the blackhole hole to 35 billion when he told us it was only 3 n half billion.

Typical lefty dud

Highest tax burden since 1945, flatlining economy thanks to employer NI rises and a bloated welfare state that even Keir wanted to trim down but failed totally on due to the backbench revolt.

 

Yep, you sound like an ideal candidate for Jeremy Corbyn's latest venture 😄

Why are you actually commenting on this thread? I've seen you rubbish the UK ad nauseam on this forum over a long period of time to the point where you're a walking cliche. Aren't you an Aussie? Seems odd you'd be here to stick up for Keir, though I seem to see you posting pro-Islam sympathies in the past so who knows who you really are.

 

FYI, Keir has got a whopping -44% net approval rating currently in the UK. That's how well thought of he is. The worst start in history for a UK PM 😄

At least Harris had the race card.
