keir starmer my dad was a toolmaker..

Keir Starmer's dad: "My son is a tool and always has been. The biggest tool I have ever made."

I suspect that our Keir is hoping  that leftie mythology will draw a discrete veil over his his dad's occupation and that the Labour party's spin doctors are already writing up tales of Sir Stodge's poverty stricken childhood, when breakfast was a bowl of past their sell by date nails. But having spent my early life in metal bashing, I think it is only fair to point out that tool makers were the Gods of industry and if their children ever said they went short, ithey were lying and were practising to become lawyers

Keir Starmer: 'My dad was a toolmaker' and other little Grifts

Keir Starmer: 'My dad was a toolmaker' and other little Grifts


But what is not so obvious is the stage management of Sir Keir Starmer, a Labour leader that is constantly upheld by all aspects of the establishment, mainstream press or Fourth Estate has run cover for him like no other leader, not even Boris Johnson gets that much good press from the right-wing newspapers as Sir Keir Starmer.

Starmer has spent a week trying to win back the Red wall, these Labour Heartlands. He has talked about the return of manufacturing, being tough on crime, while his Deputy Leader, Angela Rayner wants to shoot first and ask questions later, creating an image of a dystopian future where an authoritarian Labour place us all under the Rule of Lawyers.

But what's been so annoying is his carefully orchestrated background, designed to appeal to the masses, a working-class boy made good, with claims of my dad was a toolmaker.
Unfortunately, it's not the entire truth, it just doesn't hold up to scrutiny, while scratching the surface reveals more than a few holes in his backstory, he conveniently forgets to mention, his dad owned the bloody factory.
To be fair you could just let it go if it wasn't for the fact he relies on it so much and besides, I find it quite insulting when he claims a toolmaker was looked down upon
