Victoria Starmer’s dress

It’s this:

Oh crikey! Victoria is not an occupational therapist. Why do people persist in saying this?!

She works as a lawyer in NHS occupational health department.

A very different role indeed!

That makes more sense - I read it somewhere and thought it was odd that she’d retrained as an OT! Still, she won’t be wealthy from being an NHS lawyer, she’ll be on a modest income taking account of the CoL in London. Two public sector professional jobs does not lead to wealth.

I thought the red dress was lovely.

I thought AM just needed the right hat and she'd look like a suffragette.

Haven't read all the messages but I thought it was a lovely and flattering dress on a very attractive woman. She's my age, so what she's wearing interested me. It wasn't an incredible dress but I was more drawn to how pretty she is. I respect them for keeping their children out of the public eye.

Akshata's dress was more interesting and it suited her. I also respect the Sunaks for allowing their girls a private life.

The local donkeys?

Spot on! Said to my husband, that’s a very Edwardian styles dress.

Did anyone see the magnificent returning officer in the velvet jacket, flounces, feathered hat and white gloves? 😁

Yes that returning officer had an amazing outfit, she outdid everyone.

Victoria Starmer looked very elegant in the red dress (and the cream short sleeved jacket she wore yesterday).

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.

Lol.

You forget that she’s married to a multi-millionaire Labour politician. Duh!

I thought Victoria looked beautiful yesterday. The dress was lovely and she is naturally a very lovely looking women with a really warm smile. The two of them make a very handsome couple.

The way that people are trying to portray KS as super rich and privileged drives me mad. He came from a very normal modest background and has done very well for himself through hard work. He was a human rights lawyer, not a city banker. The two of them live the lifestyle of two London based professionals who have done well in their careers. Of course they are financially comfortable. You'd expect that for someone in their 60s / 50s who have had the careers they have. KS is self made. Good for him.

RTF thread. Duh! indeed.

The name “she goes by” is her name.

I suspect you’d remember it if it was Emma or Clare or Susan..

And the Starmers, who haven’t even revealed their children’s names in public.

Contrast with Hunt parading his family like trophies, or the odious Rees-Mogg.

I like the red dress and she is willowy so suits that style. Not sure about the sleeves but she wore it beautifully and you cannot go wrong with Russell and Bromley who twice a year have a brilliant sale. I have strappy sandals I brought years ago from R and B that look like they would last 5 mins with very thin straps and they have lasted me forever. Always buy the more classic styles though

What a pity Sir Keir did not get trousers the correct length. They have folded up into an heap onto his shoes. Buy braces. Don't let your wife down!

It looked better on Victoria than it does in the model. She's stunning.

🤣

Most people earning that kind of cash invest their money and he's in his 60s, so I have no idea why people are denying that he's likely a multimillionaire. I'd be shocked if he wasn't. Some strange folk on here.

£405k income. These people earn far more than just their MP salary

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.

Seems there’s a bit of envy/ inverted snobbery regarding the (guessed) incomes of the Starmers. How much they have in the bank doesn’t interest me. How Sir Keir and his team get on with running the country does.

They're not toffs

Toffs are upper class/Eton types

The Sunaks and Johnsons and Rees Moggs are toffs
