The Right wing smear campaign against Sir Keir Starmer

After another solid performance by Sir Keir Starmer at PMQ’s the tories are now beginning to realise that the new Labour leader is surgical and precise and can hold Boris to account, far more than Jeremy Corbyn.

They are starting to fear him, therefore three tory scumbag MP’s have started to begin to smear him by spreading false rumours by posting far right content on their twitter feeds.

The recent yougov poll has started to show an upward trend in approval for Keir’s supportive and critical approach to the current crisis.

Are the tories starting to run scared, what are ypur thoughts?

Apparently dorries was one and she deleted it.

Probally not a great idea to defame a QC.

Nothing about when cuddly boris said that time spent on investigating historical sex cases was 'spaffing money up the wall?

Starmer is good very good but this pandemic is not a political matter.

It is all political title tatle and is irrevilent.Plls are irrevilent we are 5 years from any election.

I hope that the parties may begin to work together at this time and they maybe more than we know because so many thrive on the crap.

Thy probably are more united at this time than they can say to be honest

Was a matter of time. Starmer is making Boris look ridiculous and the Tories know it. Rees Mogg is trying to rally MPs back to parliament in order to drown out Starmer and give Boris a bit of shielding.....he must dread PMQ'S

Watching Chief prosecutor Keir take Borris apart has been a silver lining (if that phase is appropriate) in all of this. They didn't teach that at Eton debate club..

The handling of this pandemic certainly is a political matter; who ignored Operation Cygnus while trying to dismantle the NHS, sowing the seeds of this almighty mess (I was going to say shitshow but that would have been something of a mixed metaphor)?

The relentless coordinated smear campaign against Corbyn was done because he wanted to challenge not just the political establishment, but he wanted to question the role of government. He was suggesting that it should be there to serve the people, instead of just the interests of the super rich and bog corporations.

Starmer, as competent as he is, will not be offering any real change. Only slight incremental improvements.

So the establishment are not as concerned about him in the same way. Hence I don't think we will see anything like the smears that Corbyn did.

I was so excited that I forgot to correct my spelling mistake. Of course I mean "big corporations". And not Armitage Shanks.

To be fair there is less scope to smear Starmer than there was with JC, unless he has some seriously dodgy skeletons in his cupboard

Why wouldn't there be one? It's what they do.

Not a single member of the current Cabinet could lay a glove on Starmer in an argument based on facts and logic.

Luckily for them, UK politics has sunk so low that they don't have to.

Yet none of them are willing to apologise I’d have a lot more respect for people who admit to their failings - asif that will happen...

He's more electable from Corbyn because he doesn't offer much meaningful change.

In my opinion.

"Wouldn’t be the first time people have retweeted something, only to later find out it was fake."

Indeed. there was the time in the GE campaign where Matt Hancock's SPAD told the press that he had been "punched" by a leftie agitator.

I heard a podcast that interviewed people who spread fake news for a living (it didn't ask how they slept). They said that fake news only worked on the right, as progressives normally checked their sources before sharing.

Disagree 100% and if we are going t defeat it we need to take politics out of it,the new tone of labour is very encouraging.

It is pointless to go back through the years and say we where unprepaired,well how can you be prepaired for something that does not exist?That is really stupid talk

I personally think he is going to have to work really hard to rebuild that red wall, especially when his Brexit position was what broke it in the first place, for this reason alone I think lisa nandy would have been a better choice of candidate, far more likely to appeal to labour's northern heartlands, well in my opinion that is.

Sir Kier is impressive so far so good.

At the moment I'm not sure what his policies are mainly due to the virus dominating.

I noticed what little I saw of the Labour leadership contest no one really criticised Jeremy Cornyn's policies. It will be interesting to see if he moves away bit by bit

Starmer is as thick as shit, the tories are playing him. He stands up in parliament digging at the government, like all the rest people are sick of it. Now if he had a brain he would work with the government and stand out as a statsman, we need that while this is going on not point scoring. This is like a war so we need to pull together till its over,or people will never forgive him.

Maybe he's more concerned about fulfilling the role of opposition in parliament. Holding the government to scrutiny. Rather than trying to win some kind of popularity contest?

I'm still unsure about Starmer but he's proving effective in keeping Johnson on his toes which is a good thing.

I think it's a very sobering experience for the Tory party when they see the two go head to head. If MPs feel the need to smear, it's clear that they feel Johnson is out of his depth.

I think you're confused about the role of opposition in government. No one is "point scoring" here.

As I said, it's about scrutinising the government. Over 30,000 people have died already. How many people need to die before you would deep it appropriate for the opposition party to start asking questions?

There are plenty of Conservatives, like myself, that aren't convinced about Boris Johnson.

I wasn't happy with his posturings on the back benches, he comes with too much baggage, and his Etonian ways are a distraction in the 21st Century.

I would much prefer a younger, modernist, articulate Leader. In that respect, SKS has plenty to go at in the next four years. I wish him well.

I have very much enjoyed watching Starmer pull apart Johnsons lies piece by piece. This is very much needed. Corbyn did much the same, but the newspapers told everyone to hate him and so they did. Will the same befall Starmer?

As great a job as he is doing in PMQs, the rest of the country are still happily reading The Sun and blathering on about whatever half-arsed nonsense they've been fed.

We've learned (Trump, Johnson, Bolsonaro) that at the end of the day populism is currently winning, and truth, justice and even logic don't really come into it.

Starmer....thick as shit? I guess you’re up for debating that with him are you? I have a pretty good idea who would win that argument and I dont think it would take him very long! Genuinely all the tories are crapping themselves about Starmers forensic abilities because Boris Just cannot hack it against SKS in PMQs.

And claiming it could be worth £10m if developed. Ignoring the facts that it doesn't have planning permission (and has never had a planning application anyway), and is on green belt land so can't be built on.

Meanwhile, in a tax haven near you...The owner of the Daily Mail & MoS, Viscount Rothermere, owns 4,700 acres in Dorset & Wiltshire, some of it via offshore firms based in tax havens.

It is perfectly reasonable in times like this for the opposition to question the Government. KS is not being divisive or difficult, he is asking the difficult questions that need asking. Like why are there 10,000+ unexplained deaths in Care Homes over and above the norm and Covid 19 deaths? Surely we all want answers to this? At what level of death do you say it is time to question the approach the Government has taken? Is it 10,001, 50,000, 1,000,000. Surely any death should be questioned? The fact that BJ either doesn’t know the answer, or is choosing to deliberately hide the real desth rate is fair game for questioning.

Its pathetic really but this is the type of journalism the daily fail will now be serving on a regular basis and as we now know there are gullible people who fall for this mush.

"I detect a glimmer of hope for the left in Starmer. Its still very very early days but he's certainly far more electable than Corbyn

He's more electable from Corbyn because he doesn't offer much meaningful change.

In my opinion."

He’s more electable because he’s likely to push a centre left agenda whereas Corbyn’s vision was way too extreme, as well-intentioned as it may have been.

The hard Socialism some of Corbyn’s supporters wanted just doesn’t work; they need a dose of reality. It was an outdated shitshow in the 70s, it would an unmitigated disaster now.

Groups like Momentum just need to crawl off into a corner and stay there; let Starmer get on with it unimpeded by idealistic bullshit.

A lawyer who can earn up to £420 per hour can hardly claim to be a man of the people. The local authority Tandridge District Council has plans for 6056 new homes and has warned that expansion could come at the expense of previously protected land .

Starmer has claimed not to be a millionaire even though he conceded that his house in London might be worth a million pounds . He also ommitted the value of his late parents house which he has inherited and is valued at £480, 000. With planning permission he will own a field worth £10 million

Or just own a field & not be Tory like and pack it full of crap houses!? Fields do not come with planning permission, many fields just don’t get built on & some people don’t just do things for money - maybe go and look at what Jacob Rees Mogg does with his money instead.

Yes, if the law changed and he sought planning permission he could profit. The law hasn't changed though and he isn't seeking planning permission So what's the agenda?

"Man who bought field for his mum's donkeys was playing the long (26 years) game so he can coin it in when he's PM"

Meanwhile, Rothermere owns 4,700 acres in Dorset.

4,700 x "£1.5 million per acre" = £7 BILLION that he didn't pay tax on.

Note, land in Dorset with planning permission can be worth over £2.5 million per acre.

Dunno why people are even threating the story with any seriousness.

I mean it's not like he was sacked twice for lying,or made borderline racial comments,or had allegations of sexual misconduct raised,or had the police visit his house due to domestic disturbance,or presided over an electoral campaign based on lies,or couldnt be arsed attending cobra meetings in the middle of one of The biggest health crises the country has ever seen.

Starmer may be a threat to Johnson, but he's not a threat to the system. He's not proposing any really change. So there isn't too much for the establishment to worry about.

Yes I believe Patrick may be a public school boy, but perhaps not a top school, otherwise why would you support a tax dodging lord with 5000 acres who enjoys fox hunting ? We can assume true British people would support a man from humble beginnings who saves a few pounds to buy a patch of land close to his mother so she can care for abused animals, what a wonderful gesture.

At a certain point you start to spin yourself.

A QC and former Director of Public Prosecutions is "as thick as shit" based on what criteria?

How are the Tories "playing him" by posting false tweets and newspaper articles about donkey sanctuaries bought for his mum before she died?

The leader of the opposition supports and questions where appropriate.

It's the government which seems to be in need of forgiveness at this stage. They are actually in control and making the decisions. Bad ones.

However he denied being a millionaire despite owning a house worth in excess of a million pounds. He claims to be a man of the people yet is in a very privileged position in life with assets potentially worth ten million pounds.

The article clearly presented the facts? Has Starmer made any attempt to deny them.

No one resents his success. It is however insulting for him to claim to be a man of the people considered both hid wealth and the fact that he calls himself Sir.

Let's wait and see if the newspaper concerned is requested to retract any of the information as published.

"A lawyer who can earn up to £420 per hour can hardly claim to be a man of the people. The local authority Tandridge District Council has plans for 6056 new homes and has warned that expansion could come at the expense of previously protected land .

Starmer has claimed not to be a millionaire even though he conceded that his house in London might be worth a million pounds . He also ommitted the value of his late parents house which he has inherited and is valued at £480, 000. With planning permission he will own a field worth £10 million

It's worth noting that this statement is just gibberish from patrick, it's just a field with no planning and worth very little, I think we can all admire and support someone from a humble background now earning a good wage, well done mr. Starmer . It would be interesting to know if you read the actual article .

As Sir Kier Starman is a lawyer , we can safely assume that he would commence legal action if any aspect of the published article were untrue ( in addition to making a complaint to the press complaints commission ).

It is a simple am exercise to verify every detail in the article as published "

What are the facts Pat?

The property was bought by Keir Starmer.

No planning permission for anything has been sought.

Any sales value quoted is hypothetical.

The land was bought before his mother's death and donkeys were moved to it.

Nothing illegal or in any way untoward or disreputable took place.

Is any of this untrue?

Are there any additional "facts"?

What was the purpose of the article Pat?

What useful information was imparted other than the fact that Kier Starmer owns some property next to his parents homeo?

it is "disengenious" at best pat for a few reason....

1) it would be like someone alledging me and my sis being millionaire because we inherited my mums house, that went up in value more than 5 times what she bought it at the day after the olympics was announced, because of where it was situated

2) all that gumpf about how much the land would be worth if built upon... which is interesting because that was not the reason why he bought the land (remember the rescue donkeys) and there has never been a planning application made on that land......

look pat... just admit it was an attempted pitiful hit piece However he denied being a millionaire despite owning a house worth in excess of a million pounds. He claims to be a man of the people yet is in a very privileged position in life with assets potentially worth ten million pounds.

The article clearly presented the facts? Has Starmer made any attempt to deny them.

No one resents his success. It is however insulting for him to claim to be a man of the people considered both hid wealth and the fact that he calls himself Sir.

Let's wait and see if the newspaper concerned is requested to retract any of the information as published. "

Desperate....you must be really worried Pat

When has he denied being a millionaire Pat?

When has he said that he was a "man of the people"?

What is his background Pat? Is it from great wealth? Does it matter? Does he have to be poor to be leader of the Labour Party?

He doesn't "call himself Sir" does he? He was knighted, so that is his title.

Do you call yourself 'Mister'?

Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage and Donald Trump have apparently been variously fighting "the establishment" and the "deep state" and "draining the swamp" despite being born in to privilege.

I don't think that The Mail did think of the donkeys. That's why they've ended up looking a bit silly

Hi. The purpose of the article was to provide Sunday Mail readers with some background information about the leader of the Labour party . Nothing derogatory or untrue was published about Kier Starmer. The Sunday Mail would have undertaken checks before publishing.

If Kier Starmer wants to be in public life, the general public have a right to know as much information about him as possible.

Are you saying that members of the public should be be unaware of a politicians background?

In any event we can be fairly certain that Sunday Mail readers found the article usefull and informative .

These are the readers whose opinion of the article matter. They will either have paid £1.80 for a copy of the newspaper or £27.00 for monthly vouchers.

Lets see if any actual readers of the newspaper consider any aspect of the article to be unfair.

The general gist of this half truth guff from the Sunday Mail. (Is the Sunday Mail any less shit than the daily mail?), Is that he might have a few quid.

Isn't that what they champion about the Tories, they have more cash than the rest of us so we should do as we're told by them?

Strange times.

What....a working class lad who pulled himself up by his bootstraps is smeared by the tory press and the saddos who support this criminally incompetent government....who would have guessed it? Perhaps Pat is genuinely scared that he might have to analyse the news instead of parroting the words of his lords and masters?

The headline read:

"Man of the people? New Labour leader Sir Keir owns seven acres of land in Surrey worth up to £10m"

What was the purpose of the initial question "Man of the people?"

How was this informative Pat?

What does the hypothetical value of a property tell the reader Pat? That something may or may not be of value?

but doesn't... and has not since 2009 because became head of the CPS and DPP

""The local authority Tandridge District Council has plans for 6056 new homes"....... "

but have not stated where!


"".....and has warned that expansion could come at the expense of previously protected land .""

for which his land was bought 26 yrs ago and used for housing rescue donkeys...


""Starmer has claimed not to be a millionaire even though he conceded that his house in London might be worth a million pounds ........""

but was not worth £1 million pounds when he bought it


""....... He also ommitted the value of his late parents house, which he has inherited........""

two month ago


"......and is valued at £480, 000.""

of which he would have a hefty inheritance tax bill to pay!


""With planning permission he will own a field worth £10 million""

but has never applied for planning permission because the land was used to house rescue donkeys....

Hi. Apart from the inheritance tax issue everything else is covered in the original article.

Without see a copy of the relevant will it would be impossible to calculate the Inheritance Tax liability.

However the initial. £325,000 is free of inheritance tax . In addition there is the the exemption for the first spouse which is also £325,000 giving a total tax free amount of £650 000. I would be surprised if Kier Star man has to pay any IHT on the estate. As a lawyer I would suspect he is pretty organised in these matters.

It is interesting to note that most socialists are not too keen on paying taxes themselves. They just prefer other people to pay them. Tony Benn organised his estate in such a manner as to minimise his tax liability and the Millibsnd brothers used a deed of variation.

Unless there is an anomaly in the estate I would be surprised if there is any inheritance tax to pay.

So just to confirm he doesn’t own a piece of land worth more than £10m, nor is such a piece of land in his Mum’s Estate? This was and is a non story.

so are any amendments i have made untruthful........ Hi. Apart from the inheritance tax issue everything else is covered in the original article.

Without see a copy of the relevant will it would be impossible to calculate the Inheritance Tax liability.

However the initial. £325,000 is free of inheritance tax . In addition there is the the exemption for the first spouse which is also £325,000 giving a total tax free amount of £650 000. I would be surprised if Kier Star man has to pay any IHT on the estate. As a lawyer I would suspect he is pretty organised in these matters.

It is interesting to note that most socialists are not too keen on paying taxes themselves. They just prefer other people to pay them. Tony Benn organised his estate in such a manner as to minimise his tax liability and the Millibsnd brothers used a deed of variation.

Unless there is an anomaly in the estate I would be surprised if there is any inheritance tax to pay.

So just to confirm he doesn’t own a piece of land worth more than £10m, nor is such a piece of land in his Mum’s Estate? This was and is a non story. "

He owns land with a potential development value of up to £10 million pounds. The article appears to indicate that he purchased the field in his own name.

"pat... tut tut tut for writing the following.....

What useful information was imparted other than the fact that Kier Starmer owns some property next to his parents homeo? Hi. The purpose of the article was to provide Sunday Mail readers with some background information about the leader of the Labour party . Nothing derogatory or untrue was published about Kier Starmer. The Sunday Mail would have undertaken checks before publishing.

If Kier Starmer wants to be in public life, the general public have a right to know as much information about him as possible.

Are you saying that members of the public should be be unaware of a politicians background?

In any event we can be fairly certain that Sunday Mail readers found the article usefull and informative .

These are the readers whose opinion of the article matter. They will either have paid £1.80 for a copy of the newspaper or £27.00 for monthly vouchers.

Lets see if any actual readers of the newspaper consider any aspect of the article to be unfair.

so thats the game we are going to play then pat.....

okay then, lets go back and read the original statement you put up, and lets make a few "additions".....

ahem.....

"A lawyer who can earn up to £420 per hour".....

but doesn't... and has not since 2009 because became head of the CPS and DPP

Post Covid 19, it has a potential worth of £0.20. You and the Mail just make this up

So I guess you must be really bothered that this man of the people has potentially made a good investment by buying a house that is now worth more than a million quid because property values in islington have risen? Its his home where he lives and as far as any of us know he plans to carry on living there for the rest of his days. Whats wrong with that? Are you jealous?

. As far as I am aware non one has claimed that any of the information as published is untrue. What the readers would be interested in is Starmers potential wealth, not how long ago or why he required assets.

I would have thought that both Tony Benn and the Millibrand brothers are both relevant. They all claimed to be men of the people yet organised their own affairs in order to pay as little tax as possible. On a simplistic basis they wanted other people to pay for services but pay as little tax as possible themselves.

It appears that you have avoided commenting on the IHT payable by Starmans mothers estate. It is likely that no IHT is payable but one poster appears to claim otherwise.

40% of 155k... £62,000!!!!!

Define "untrue". Speculation is neither true nor untrue. Neither is it actual information.

Why are Mail readers interested in his potential wealth based on a range of suppositions? Especially if his assets were obtained legitimately and, sadly, from the death of loved ones?

Who has claimed that they are "men of the people" Pat? Can you find a quote? You don't have to be poor to have empathy.

However, Farage and Trump certainly claim to be anti-establishment and supporting ordinary people. As does the current government. Have there been any articles on their actual or speculative wealth?

"....... He also ommitted the value of his late parents house, which he has inherited........"

two month ago

......and is valued at £480, 000."

of which he would have a hefty inheritance tax bill to pay!

"With planning permission he will own a field worth £10 million"

but has never applied for planning permission because the land was used to house rescue donkeys....

so are any amendments i have made untruthful........ Hi. Apart from the inheritance tax issue everything else is covered in the original article.

Without see a copy of the relevant will it would be impossible to calculate the Inheritance Tax liability.

However the initial. £325,000 is free of inheritance tax . In addition there is the the exemption for the first spouse which is also £325,000 giving a total tax free amount of £650 000. I would be surprised if Kier Star man has to pay any IHT on the estate. As a lawyer I would suspect he is pretty organised in these matters.

It is interesting to note that most socialists are not too keen on paying taxes themselves. They just prefer other people to pay them. Tony Benn organised his estate in such a manner as to minimise his tax liability and the Millibsnd brothers used a deed of variation.

Unless there is an anomaly in the estate I would be surprised if there is any inheritance tax to pay.

So none of the information that Fabio added was untrue, but it would have provided Mail readers with relevant information. That information was not included.

Tony Benn is irrelevant to a discussion about Kier Starmer.

Your back garden could be worth millions of they discover oil and can get planning permission to drill for it.

What a hypocrite you are . As far as I am aware non one has claimed that any of the information as published is untrue. What the readers would be interested in is Starmers potential wealth, not how long ago or why he required assets.

I would have thought that both Tony Benn and the Millibrand brothers are both relevant. They all claimed to be men of the people yet organised their own affairs in order to pay as little tax as possible. On a simplistic basis they wanted other people to pay for services but pay as little tax as possible themselves.

It appears that you have avoided commenting on the IHT payable by Starmans mothers estate. It is likely that no IHT is payable but one poster appears to claim otherwise. "

Kier Starker is the second of four children Pat.

Is that an interesting piece of information too?

What might the implication of that be for your speculation?

Hi. Maybe if you think the article is lies you need to contact Kier Starmer. You appear to be claiming to know more than he does. A spokesman for Kier made no attempt to deny any of the content of the article when he was contacted by the Daily Mail. With Kiers legal background we can be certain that the Daily Mail vetted the article carefully before publishing it .

Well said. Unfortunately those who can’t leave decisive politics at the door no matter what (Starmer being the chief point scorer it now seems) will ever agree and stick to grinding their usual axes ad nauseum. I won’t go into the subject of lawyers too much but let’s just say the self important windbags are well versed in presenting any twist on the facts to their advantage, the sheep might be impressed as usual, but it’s pure oratory and just a well practiced game.

Interesting use of the term ‘forensic’ ,this keeps coming up with regard to Starmer. If the term analytical was used, fair enough, as no don’t that’s what they mean. Forensic relates to crime/evidence of e.g forensic anthropology, medicine, entomology etc.

Perhaps at pmq ks should sit there and say nothing?

Not really Pat... I am claiming that you are a little confused about research and more than a little misguided in your unabashed worshipping at the altar of the daily mail

Its been proven time and time again that the Daily Makl or Daily shitbucket has been known to be an unreliable source of information.

It is very dangerous to assume they do their jobs properly.

The Daily Mash already has the next few articles that will provide Mail readers with "vital" information:

'The Mail's next five smears against Keir Starmer

20th May 2020

THE Mail exposed Keir Starmer for buying a field for his mother to use as a donkey sanctuary, horrifying voters. What devastating smears are next?

Starmer was awkward with girls when he was 14

Forensic and confident? Not in June 1977, when Starmer found himself talking to a girl he fancied but found himself unable to think of anything funny or to ask her out without blushing. So much for being a highly successful barrister.

Starmer once got d*unk at university

In a shameful incident in 1982, Starmer drank seven pints of Carling Black Label at a freshers’ disco and became excessively talkative. The next day he was completely incapacitated until almost 11am, when he took two Anadin. Is he still an alcoholic drug addict? Undoubtedly.

Starmer has never had a pub fight

Could Starmer batter a pissed bloke hassling him in a kebab shop at 1am? The Labour leader remains tight-lipped about this important issue, suggesting he can land only the lightest of punches and does not carry a ‘chib’ should the situation escalate.

Starmer has given up on several TV box sets

Unbelievably, Starmer has still not finished Mad Men, despite being initially enthusiastic about the series. He has since failed to complete The Walking Dead, Ozark and Tales from the Loop. There is only one way to describe such a person – a quitter.

Starmer is too nice

Starmer remembers his wife’s birthday, is polite to people and cares about human rights. You wouldn’t find him having the courage to walk out on his family to shack up with a PR girl half his age. The spineless wanker.'
