Starmer backtracks on yet another Labour leadership election promise. He’s a grubby liar
Keir Starmer has admitted that yet another of the promises he made to Labour Party members in order to be elected their leader was not true.
He said, in order to be elected leader in April last year, that a Labour Party under his leadership would replace the House of Lords with an elected chamber of regions and nations.
But on the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show on November 7, he backtracked, saying he would “change” the House of Lords, rather than abolish it:

This is u-turning on one of his so-called ’10 pledges’, made to Labour Party members in order to encourage them to elect him as party leader:

He was never serious in this promise – as he was not serious in any of the 10 pledges he made.
This Writer would suggest that his deliberate deception of the Labour membership makes Starmer lower even than the Tory vermin he pretends to oppose.
As Boris Johnson has been criticised only days ago for even considering granting disgraced corrupt former Tory MP Owen Paterson a place in the Lords, it seems to me that Starmer wants to make sure he has a place to go – and more cash flowing in – when he is finally ejected from the role he cheated his way into winning.
Considering the fact that he no longer intends to carry out any of the promises on which he was elected, shouldn’t this charlatan step down as Labour leader and make way for a candidate who is – at the very least – honest?
Ah, but that would require this knight of the realm to act with integrity.
