Keir Starmer "not naming my children"

[Misthios]

Respect his stance not to allow pictures of his kids, fair enough, that is the decision he and his wife have made.

But the whole "i'm not publicly naming them" - you'd think as a former lawyer he'd know birth records are public record and anyone can find out in 30 seconds? So not the big secret he thinks it is?

No, @MaryQueenofScots14 .
Your examples are quite different. Sunak's wealth? Johnson's behaviour? Fair enough. They were adults, elected to office.
That is not the same as teenage children of the PM.
Also, why repeat rumours about the children?. It's really not necessary.

I see I have been deleted, for the first time ever . . .

its very difficult to have a polite exchange of views these days!

Why the fuck do you want to know what Starmer’s kids are called, you weirdo?

What does it say about you that you’d abuse a child’s privacy to score a point? Look in the mirror and ask yourself.

What’s your name? What are your children’s names?

@MayaPinion i didn’t until I saw this thread 🤣 how the fuck does it make me a weirdo, wind your neck in love! I’m not trying to look inside their house! Bit like knowing what the beckhams kids are called… curiosity. Although as I said before this thread I had 0 curiosity. 😂

slow hand clap for antarctic ocean, what boorish behaviour.

Can anyone name Truss's children? Why would you want to?

What else do you think its your right to know? Their eating habits (they might be obese, maybe that influences NHS policy), do they smoke or vape? Who do they follow on Insta? What A levels are they studying? (maybe more money will be put into Art or PE or whatever the Starmer children like.) The list could be endless.

🤣🤣🤣 fucking hell is everyone alright today?

Jesus I’m out. You’ve all lost the plot x

If he talked about his kids he’d be criticised “why is he pushing them into the public eye? Poor kids, wahhhh”

He refuses to name or his kids photographed “why is he being so secretive? He’s just making them a target for people who be determined to find out who they are. Poor kids wahhhh”

The irony of adults, posting ANONYMOUSLY, thinking they’ve got the right to know what a public figure’s children are called. Totally irrelevant to the man’s job.

But you haven’t told us what your children’s names are. I’m really curious now.

I would never of cared...

You should spend your spare time improving your English

This, "I wouldn't have cared before this thread" but I do now". I'm curious. Come on, @AntarcticOcean
(Funny how you can see behaviour that's losing the plot when it's others doing it to you, eh 🙄)
Would you be happy with someone finding out your family and posting on here?
They're just curious, after all 🙄

I don’t think you fully understand what ‘private’ means. People who choose to go searching can find out any number of private things. But if they do so, they have breached a person’s privacy (possibly, though not necessarily, illegally). So don’t do it!

Keeping things secret so that no one could find out if they tried is very different, and in this case, impossible.

Why are people asking for kids names on an anonymous site? Keir or his wife could be on here and wouldn't be expected to give their names or their kids. Completely different to being in the public eye.

I'm sure Keir wouldn't let them get away with joyriding or dealing drugs or whatever but he could in theory. It doesn't sit right that he can afford his children huge privilege but there's no responsibility that this isn't misused.

Also, things being in the public interest =/= things the public are interested in. There is no public benefit from us knowing these children’s names, whether you are interested or not.

Sweet that you ended with a kiss, though.

It's non of our business. A lot of people in the public eye don't want their DC named or pictures in the media. They have a right to privacy and not to be photographed for people to tear them to shreds whenever they are seen in public just living day to day life like the rest of us.

I respect KS for taking this stance, and I am not a fan of his.

All children deserve the space to grow and develop away from an extremely critical public eye.

I respect this decision, the children didn’t choose to be politicians. While yes, anyone can find out if he doesn’t reveal their names then I imagine they will appear less in any media.

Cant see why anyone would to know about politicians children. It’s irrelevant. I’m not a particular fan of Keir Stammer, although, I have growing respect.

Why do you care about knowing what their names are?

He is perfectly right not to want to bring his kids in the spotlight and to want to keep everything about them private.

"Speaks volumes"? It doesn’t speak anything to me except that he wants to avoid their names being bandied around by the press and the public. Good for him.
