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.
