Starmer’s chronicles

[1andrew1]

A matter of when not if she goes. Someone in her position has to take the best advice in her personal finances and have it watertight if challenged.

Starmer will stay.

Rayner was a potential threat at one stage so he kept her close. I doubt he'll lose too much sleep when she goes with a tarnished reputation.

Doesn't matter if they did give her advice, she didn't need to follow it and is solely accountable, another thing, she has been an MP 10 years, how is she worth nearly 5 million quid, it stinks

You’re right, she is accountable - personal responsibility.

Can I ask - where did the £5 million figure come from?

This seems to be where it all started.

They must count future potential earnings, as no way was she worth $3.7m in 2019.
The only equity in any property she has is the £150,000 deposit on the Brighton flat.

That's just a made-up figure by an advertising-led website most people won't have come across until that article. They'll doubtless be happy by all the extra clicks.

The Daily Record picked up on it. That's how I found it. Hugh asked the question.
