GB NEWS NEWS EXCLUSIVE:
Keir Starmer spent £30,000 of YOUR money on beds, sofas, Ottoman blanket boxes and a £1,395 TV unit.

Starmer lectured Boris Johnson about donor spending on Downing St., but this is TAXPAYER cash.

Let’s run through some of the bill (not extensive)
£4,440 on three sofas
£1,400 on a bed
£1,630 on a shower screen
£990 on kitchen chairs
£1,395 on a “TV unit” (screen not included, obviously)

All charged to the British taxpayer. During a cost of living crisis.

And it’s not just furniture.
£9,164 on “painting works.” £2,803 on “storage throughout.” £721 on blinds.
This is the same man who told us there was “no money left” and needed to means-test pensioners’ winter fuel payments.

Number 10 says Victoria Starmer was “consulted on certain elements.”
So the Prime Minister’s wife helped pick out the Ottoman blanket boxes (£363) and dressing tables (£290) — and you picked up the tab.

In 2021, Starmer savaged Boris Johnson over “Wallpapergate” — expensive flat renovations funded with donor cash.
At least Johnson used a donor. Starmer just went straight for your pocket.

Downing Street says it’s fine because “none of the items belong to the Prime Minister.”
Right. He just lives there. Sleeps in the £1,400 bed. Watches telly from the £1,395 unit.

But it’s the government’s sofa. So that’s alright then.

That would be the £30,000 allowance that EVERY Prime Minister gets to decorate and furnish the Downing St flat? The £30,000 that Johnson spent before he turned to donors he 'couldn't recall'. From what I saw of his 'taste' in decorating I'm surprised that Sunak & Starmer's allowances have been enough to repair the damage.

Not sure everyone in Shetland was keen on Fromage visiting.

Hah!
I was his (Hugh Harrop, not Fromage) 'best man', way back in '88 or '89.
He was an ardent twitcher and would leave the pub's telephone number with his missus wherever we went out, in case a rare bird was spotted somewhere in the UK.

Nigel says he's had secret talks with the Taliban about taking Asylum Seekers he's going to deport.

Starmer will try to blame Conservatives for the defence mess he has created on his watch. Rubbish.

In January 2024, Conservatives approved upgrades to Type 45 destroyers including HMS Dragon.

In July 2024, Labour paused those upgrades.

We led the world in the defence of Ukraine. Conservatives never had the humiliation of a warship stuck in port for weeks, then forced to turn back with faults.

That's on Starmer. That's on Labour. And that's why they can't be trusted.

Instead of blaming Conservatives he should approve the upgrades now.

Farage has boasted that he's been in talks with a foreign power who has agreed to take the UK's refugees from Afghanistan. That power? The Taliban.

I was going to say it would be like sending Jews back to Nazi Germany, but we know Farage's (alleged) opinion of Hitler.

I wonder what Nige's opinion of anyone else having secret talks with the Taliban would be?

New Gammon saviour.

Sharon Osborne!

The Late Ozzy Osborne wife Sharon Osborne has come out in support of Tommy Robinson.
Last month she hinted at becoming mayor of Birmingham.
Now she’s publicly supporting an event that unites the people.

Good for Sharon. I've seen videos where she has said kind things about Trump, and I know she supports Israel. Those are two things that are going to put you on the same side as Tommy Robinson and common sense

Ozzy wouldn't have pissed on Tommy if he was on fire

Good for Sharon glad she’s supporting Tommy & will take part on the 16th-like to see her stand for Mayor of Birmingham we could & have done a lot worse. It will be nice to get someone in power that says it as it is this is what we need someone with carriage that isn’t afraid

It feels glorious to watch a proper legend like Sharon Osbourne come out and support the march. She’s seen exactly what’s happened to Birmingham and the rest of Britain. We’ve all had enough of the deliberate destruction of our country!!

Sharon Osborne is a patriot and loves her country

Ozzy’s greatest last gift to Britain!

Sharon Osbourne stepping up for the Unite the UK march! Proud fans right here cheering @MrsSOsbourne on.

I like to think he would have if Yaxley-Lennon wasn't.

Hugh Harrop, not Fromage

I don't think that qualifier was entirely necessary, unless your views had done a 180⁰

This is a moment of profound importance for our national security.

So why won’t Keir Starmer fund our military?

Because he is too busy spending your money on benefits

 

[Andy_Ross]

All 4 of them

WOW: It's happening, fuel protests have broken out in England as patriots block the M1 near Nottingham.

Ireland have shown us the way

The real time to sit up and take notice will be when one of these ***** learns what the word "patriot" means.

Yeah, it'll never happen.

‘Socialists always run out of other people’s money.’

Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Helen Whately criticises the Labour Government for trying to ‘get their hands’ on people’s pensions as if they were their own ‘piggy bank’.

The British political class in meltdown as Tommy Robinson reveals he is meeting President Donald Trump, just days before King Charles’ state visit.
And Sharon Osbourne has become the biggest mainstream celebrity to back the Unite the Kingdom rally by announcing she is attending.

I am not surprised @POTUS is threatening to rip up the trade deal with the UK

@Keir_Starmer practices policies which are anti-American and has stabbed our ally in the back.

There is a choice:

Back the Anglo sphere or the EU.

Starmer chooses the EU

I choose the Anglo-sphere

The council doesn't house Asylum Seekers.


Sarah Pochin MP
@SarahForRuncorn
Halton Borough Council has a waiting list of 3,800 people requiring social housing, yet the Labour controlled council is currently housing 600 illegal asylum seekers.

This is pure betrayal of local people. A Reform led Council would put a stop to this.

Vote Reform UK on 7th May.

Epsom is erupting over the gang rape of its young women, rumoured to be by illegals migrants again.
Where is the information from police?
Where is the outrage from the MSM?
Instead, they’ll just deride an invisible far right again.
WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH

The Erasmus scheme massively benefits EU students over British young people, all while costing the taxpayer £570 million.

2017/18: Brits to EU ≈ 17,048; EU to Britain ≈ 31,871

Just Starmer once again giving away things for little in return to prop up his friends int he failing EU, bit like those e-gates that never materialised while he gave away our fishing waters.

Worst negotiator in British history.

I'm so sick of these worthless grifters deliberately injecting outright lies into the public sphere.
