They want to think they are not just another bunch of rich toffs, but they are. Most of the cabinet are Oxford educated. Kiers made it the Oxford club.

They're not toffs. Keir is self-made

Toffs are upper class/Eton types

The Sunaks and Johnsons and Rees Moggs are toffs

lol. Call an Oxford educated multi millionaire barrister what you want. It’s toff for me.

Greenshed · 06/07/2024 17:48

Neither does which university they attended bother me, either. I’d just say that you don’t get law degrees sitting around doing nothing - hard work is involved.

This is a weird way to think.

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 06/07/2024 17:48

She looks really nice at the races. Green dress, really lovely.

inlandriverview · 06/07/2024 17:49

They're well educated, middle class professionals

Yes he's intelligent and gained a post grad at Oxford

Good...I don't want someone who left school aged 15 running the country

More interested in Akshata Murty‘s dress.

Presumably now they’re out of Downing St she won’t have to dress down for the electorate as much as she has in the past.

I like fairly dramatic prints myself, but I thought that looked awful 😞

@StripedTomatoes are you saying NHS workers shouldn't be able to wear or afford ME&EM?😂

Of course @StripedTomatoes wasn’t saying that. Maybe have another look at her post!

inlandriverview · 06/07/2024 17:52

You cant buy yourself degree or the bar

It’s important to understand as well that the type of law that Starmer practised as a barrister, and his wife when she was a solicitor (human rights/civil liberties/criminal), is not at all well paid. I mean, you can make a reasonable living especially when you are top of your game like he was, but it’s a million miles from high value commercial cases or being in a City law firm.

And he has done a lot of work Pro bono. It’s always good to see successful people with moral fibre.

PaleSunlightOfHope · 05/07/2024 13:10

Oh goodness. She is a pretty woman, but that dress looks like the unfortunate result of a brief liaison between a zebra and an extra from an amateur production of The Sound Of Music.

lol that’s hilarious!!

I didn’t think the dress was bad just the scowl on her face

It read like a ‘tongue in cheek’ comment to me. Maybe I’m wrong 🤷‍♀️

Sandwichgen · 06/07/2024 18:57

Anyone know where her today’s green dress at Sandown eacecpurse is from ?

pics in Daily Mail

lissie123 · 06/07/2024 19:16

@Sandwichgen I think it’s Meandem- maybe last season?

He went to a state school and his first degree was from Leeds. Oxford was post graduate. He's worked for what he's got.

Sandwichgen · 06/07/2024 19:27

Thanks ladies

Only reason I can see to be upset by him buying some land for his mum so she can keep rescued donkeys on it.

I mean, it’s a real arsehole move isn’t it.

It really is. We all know how hard it is for young donkeys to get a hoof on the paddock ladder.

We’re discussing Victoria’s Starmer red dress and her fashion style, we don’t really care about donkeys.

Myblindsaredown · 05/07/2024 13:03

She’s not a single woman, her husband is a multi multi millionaire. She can afford much more.

I think you're confusing him with the previous PM.

The poor donkeys. You might have missed the discussion widening to include how rich KS and RS are, AM's dress, the green dress worn today, where KS went to school/university and yes the wee donkeys.

Is that a dig at Angela Rayner? I think she's pretty amazing to have achieved what she has given her start in life.

Sandwichgen · 06/07/2024 19:43

Viscose! Damn

That’s fine. I like Victorias style a lot but I’m more of a “Melania sense of style” fan (despite of her husband). Horses for courses.
