Last night Labour's leader, Sir Keir Starmer led his Labour MPs in voting against Conservative plans to keep more doctors in the NHS and to cut the waiting list backlog by abolishing the lifetime pension allowance, which has been blamed for a wave of early retirements of senior doctors and other professionals. Playing politics instead of delivering for the British People. It's a policy, which they themselves said last year, will “save lives” by keeping on more NHS doctors.
Today, it was revealed that Kier Starmer himself benefits from a one man ‘tax-unregistered’ pension scheme which means the lifetime allowance does not apply to his contributions from his time as DPP, when he earned almost £200,000 a year. He was so keen on this exemption for himself that he demanded a special piece of secondary legislation in 2013, exempting just him from the tax charge that applied to everyone else.
Starmer's position on Law and Order is utterly confused but on pensions it is now crystal clear -
There is one law for him and nothing for the rest of us.
