YOU’D think that if you’re savvy enough to know that appearances matter, you’d also understand that accepting substantial “gifts” of clothes – for goodness sake – when you’re earning a PM’s salary is not a good look. Not Starmer.

Put aside that lack of compassion over the two-child benefit cap. Put aside the cruel cut in the Winter Fuel Payment, which in total is less than a dodgy Peer receives PER DAY for doing f***-all in the unelected chamber of the House of Lords. It’s a grim start.
Clearly Starmer is not just clothed luxuriously for free, he’s draped in the shroud of Tory policy and behaviour which is not what people voted for.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
