From football matches to Taylor Swift tickets, Starmer's penchant for perks is a disconcerting trait | Owen Jones
Briefly

Keir Starmer's administration, just weeks in, has shown a commitment to policies that refuse to alleviate poverty, like maintaining Osborne's two-child benefit cap, leading to serious struggles for 250,000 children.
The Labour government has made significant choices that have led to further impoverishment, including substantially cutting winter fuel payments that will harm 800,000 older people, highlighting a troubling trend in their policies.
Despite the dire economic situation and rising hardship, there appears to be a lack of initiative from Labour to tax the ultra-wealthy; the richest British households possess wealth exceeding Poland's entire economic output.
Starmer's past as director of prosecutions demonstrates an affinity for luxury, with taxpayers footing a bill of nearly £250,000 and choosing expensive travel options despite proximity to work, raising concerns about his leadership values.
