Trashing a reputation

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


It is remarkable how quickly Keir Starmer acquired a reputation for habitual dishonesty. It wasn’t acquired recently and the story below is already one of many. Online comments all over the media suggest there are many people who do not trust anything Starmer says.

Yes it’s only politics, but politicians generally make some attempt to avoid trashing their reputation this quickly. Almost as if Starmer and co. have not yet realised that political reputations are no longer defined within mainstream media, or even within national borders.   


‘Fudging the facts!’ Starmer accused of ‘pretending’ he attended state school by former pupil

Peter Lampl, a former Blair adviser and founder of the education charity Sutton Trust, slammed the Prime Minister over his VAT tax raid on private schools, arguing that the policy has denied less well-off students the same opportunities afforded to Starmer when he was younger.

During their school days, Starmer and Lampl both attended Reigate Grammar, a self-acclaimed leading independent school for boys and girls aged between 11 and 18.

When Starmer first joined, the school was funded by the council but became an independent school just two years later. The local authority agreed to cover the fees for students who had joined before the switch and, soon after, Starmer received a bursary when he started sixth form.

Starmer’s fellow alumnus Lampl, whose charity aims to transforms thousands of young lives, wrote: “I don’t pretend the school we went to was a state school, Starmer does. But he is fudging the facts.

“I am helping young people to benefit from an education that made all the difference to me, Starmer is destroying the opportunities to have the same chances he had.”

Addressing previous questions about his schooling, the Prime Minister said: “As far as I was concerned, I started school as a ‘state boy’ and I finished as one too.”
