Britain’s Deadly E-Bombs

Before going to bed, Rebecca Downes and her partner Patrick Ramsey were always vigilant about unplugging equipment in the house.

Having lost her childhood home in a fire caused by an electrical fault, Rebecca had good cause to be cautious.

So, when Patrick brought home an electric bike one evening, they decided to charge it in the bedroom rather than in the kitchen, so they could keep an eye on it just to be safe.

What happened, in the three minutes after Patrick connected the lithium-ion battery charger to the wall, is the stuff of nightmares.

The battery, which measured about 14 x 3.6 inches, exploded like a Roman Candle, Patrick would recall afterwards, with bits of metal entrenching in their skin, as flames and toxic smoke immediately consumed the room.

As the burning battery was blocking the door, the couple’s only means of escape was to leap 30 feet from their second-floor window.

While Patrick survived, albeit requiring months of hospital care, Rebecca, a mother of four, died from the horrendous injuries she suffered in the fall.

The coroner presiding over the inquest into her demise last month was told that if that hadn’t killed her, her 60 per cent burns would have done.

Her sister Julie Downes said that these batteries are deadly when they catch fire and that Becky didn’t stand a chance. It’s not like charging a mobile phone, which has just three volts and would probably smoulder, allowing plenty of time to get out.

She said that these e-bike batteries contain up to 52 volts (17 times as many) making them, she believes, far too dangerous to risk charging at home.

She added that after what they’ve been through, and to prevent further loss of life, would like to see all e-bikes and e-scooters completely banned.

According to safety campaigners, fires from electrically powered scooters and bikes have caused eight deaths and at least 190 injuries in the United Kingdom since 2020, and are said to be the cause of at least six fires a week.

What happened to Rebecca, who was 44, and her family is a particularly harrowing example of the possible risks they pose.

The inquest into Becky’s death last year heard how the couple owned a bike shop in their home town of Blackpool, and had recently started trading in electric bikes and scooters.

The weekend before the fire, Patrick had taken a bike to a friend who specialised in electronics, as there appeared to be an issue with the battery.

This was a terrible accident, but the Government are pushing these electric vehicles at the expense of common sense. The idea is safe, but no quality control, but this could have been preventable by the manufacturer. There appears to be no law on safety standards, so if there are no standards, people purchase more affordable models with poorly produced batteries.

Can you imagine the carnage when this starts happening with electric cars?

Both e-bikes and e-scooters are also a menace to pedestrians and should be banned outright. People just dump them in the middle of the pavement so that people can’t get past them.

Any kind of scooter that has to be charged should never be left inside the home. They should be left outside in a well-ventilated area. After all, you wouldn’t keep a petrol can in the house, would you?

And electric cars are no different because if your electric car goes up in flames, the fire can’t be put out because of the lithium battery.

It’s Possible That Sadiq Khan Will Be Voted Out As London’s Mayor

Labour insiders have warned that Sadiq Khan could be voted out as mayor of London amid backlash over his contentious plans to expand the capital’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez).

Party sources believe that Sadiq Khan, who was expected to win the Labour stronghold capital next May, could get squeezed out by voters outraged by the Ulez fee.

The mayor’s popularity has fallen amid the planned expansion which would see motorists in all of Greater London pay a £12.50 daily fee if their cars don’t meet the necessary emissions standards.

A Labour source told a newspaper outlet that people are furious with Sadiq Khan and given his unfavourability he may do the unthinkable and lose Labour’s backyard of London.

Insiders have suggested the Ulez row could see voters turn their support to the Tories or ex-Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who’s understood to be contemplating a bid for mayor.

The Labour insider told the newspaper that Sadiq Khan won London because he focused on hoovering up votes on the periphery of the city.

The source warned the party could see a repeat of the Boris Johnson doughnut strategy, which treated inner and outer London as two distinct targets.

The insider added that you could see the Tories trying that again and making the race for City Hall a referendum on Ulez.

The Ulez presently has borders of the North and South Circular, but it’s set to encompass the outer London boroughs from August 29. The new borders will reach Buckingham, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent and Surrey.

The extended Ulez will see motorists in all of Greater London pay a £12.50 daily fee if their cars don’t comply with minimum emissions standards.

Lorries, buses, coaches and heavy vans that are non-compliant are charged £100 under the separate low emissions zone (Lez) scheme, which already covers most of London.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is at odds with Sadiq Khan over the plan, which has caused somewhat of a civil war within the party.

Sir Keir Starmer fears the Ulez expansion will cause the party to haemorrhage votes. Meanwhile, MPs are accusing Sadiq Khan of waging a war on drivers.

Khalid Mahmood, MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, said the expansion was a huge burden on workers and argued that Sadiq Khan knows that these people can’t afford it.

Khalid Mahmood told a newspaper outlet that it was just dogmatic politics for him and that he didn’t want to be seen changing his view.

Can Sadiq Khan really have this much power? And surely whoever next becomes mayor of London, surely they will pursue the same route, so who’s above them pulling the strings?

And if Londoners vote this in again then they deserve this and more because he won’t stop there.

This is absurd and taxing drivers is daylight robbery. We pay far too much tax as it is – it’s just tax on top of tax and more! And we the people are the cash cows.

London was once a wonderful and exciting metropolis to visit back in the day when the Lord Mayor of London was just a nursery rhyme character.

If people have any sense they will vote Sadiq Khan out, but the problem is they don’t heed the warnings about him – it’s like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.

Sadiq Khan needs to go but don’t think that his replacement will undo anything that Sadiq has done.

It’s almost as if this man is conducting his own personal war against Londoners, and he’s trying his utmost to maximise the damage to the city.

A Deadly Force For Men, A Dangerously Irresistible Force For Women

Confronted with a choice between her two hot-blooded lovers, Steve McQueen and Bruce Lee, actress Sharon Farrell saw it as no match.

Steve McQueen may have been the womanising ‘King of Cool’ and possessor of Hollywood’s most piercing blue eyes but the man she actually fell for was the 5’8 Chinese American martial artist.

Bruce Lee may famously have overpowered opponents with ‘fists of fury’ but he was irresistible to women in other ways.

Farrell gushed at Bruce Lee’s biographer Matthew Polly and she said that Bruce took her to the Moon and back, and he just turned her inside out, but he was married and didn’t have a pot to pee in.

She said that Steve McQueen was so successful, he was her protector but that she was in lust with Steve, but that Bruce Lee was the love of her life.

Matthew Polly tells how Bruce Lee surreptitiously came to see Farrell in late 1968 after flying down to rural Mississippi where she and Steve McQueen were filming together.

Some years before he became a star in his own right, Bruce Lee was there as Steve McQueen’s kung fu trainer, but he’d had his own ‘hidden reason’ for wanting to visit the set, his secret love affair with Farrell.

Polly wrote that when Bruce Lee spotted Sharon Farrell next to her trailer, he snuck up behind her and put his hand over her mouth and asked why she hadn’t returned his calls and asked, did she really think that he wouldn’t be able to find her. Bruce then dragged her into her dressing room and they made love as quietly as possible, hoping that no one would hear them.

Later, Sharon Farrell admitted that she’d already hooked up with her co-star Steve McQueen but told Bruce Lee that she was just using Steve to get over him and said that they couldn’t do this again and that she was sorry.

Polly’s acclaimed and thoroughly researched 2018 biography, Bruce Lee: A Life, revealed another side to the iconic actor, fighter and philosopher lionised by his army of starry-eyed fans. A controlling and heartless womaniser. Bruce Lee was arrogant, self-righteous and chauvinistic, according to the book.

This isn’t exactly the image of Bruce Lee presently being advanced by his daughter, Shannon Lee, on the 50th anniversary of his demise.

He was a legend, most will agree with that.

I’ve read a lot about Bruce Lee over the years, but I’ve never heard him labelled as a womaniser. Evidently, someone’s attempting to disparage him, but what’s the point, he’s dead and the only thing that people will do is hurt his family, but even if he was a womaniser, you’d hardly challenge him to a fight.

Katie Price Shows Off Her New Nose Job, Lips, And Cheeks As She Collects Seized Range Rover

Katie Price showed off the results of her latest cosmetic surgery procedures, after undergoing a nose job, cheek fillers, and a lip lift.

The former glamour model, 45, was spotted sporting her new look on Wednesday while she was collecting her Range Rover from the car pound after it was seized by the police last week when she was caught driving without a licence or insurance.

Heading to the car pound to collect her luxury motor, Katie Price was seen with her on-off partner Carl Woods as she showed off the results of her latest round of cosmetic surgery.

As ever, Katie Price oozed glamour as she arrived at the location in a loose eye-catching zebra print jumpsuit which she paired with some summer sliders as she sported the casual outfit in the car park.

The mum of five modelled her brunette locks off her face as she slicked her hair back into a ponytail to show off the results of her new nose, lips and fuller cheeks.

The television celebrity recently went under the knife again for a nose job which she revealed on TikTok, just days after her worried mum Amy claimed she was suffering from ‘body dysmorphia’.

Over the years, Katie Price has made her love of plastic surgery no secret and last year had her 16th breast enhancement even though medical staff feared it could kill her, and fresh from her latest outing, Katie Price removed her nose bandages on social media in order to have filler injected into her plump lips.

Addressing her fans, she said that she’d had work done and she was feeling refreshed and she wasn’t looking bad for 45 before going on to add that the beautician who’d administered the treatment had done a good job while adding that she loved it.

Katie Price’s cosmetic procedure reveal comes after she was pulled over by police last week as they responded to reports of the glamour model driving without a licence and insurance. The TV celebrity is said to have been questioned by officers at a roadside in Sussex for an hour before her car was impounded.

Katie Price has a lengthy history of driving-related issues including a guilty plea in 2021 for drink-driving after she totalled a car in Sussex in September 2021, and was reportedly recognised by locals at the scene who identified her and her silver Range Rover.

I’m sure she was oozing something but it certainly wasn’t glamour. She looks like she’s gone ten rounds with Tyson, and she was driving without a licence and insurance, but of course, she will plead poverty, but she’s still finding the funds for surgery. It’s time this woman was brought to justice, justice that applies to everyone else, but evidently not her, although apparently the car was insured and she got her licence back a while ago, but the police had evidently not updated their system, but then the police towed the car away, so they must have had grounds for it.

Oozed glamour, whoever reported that needs to go to Specsavers.

As Part Of The ‘New Era’ Of NHS Healthcare, Hundreds Of Thousands Of Patients Will Be Treated At Home On ‘Virtual Wards’

The NHS has heralded a ‘new era’ of healthcare that will see hundreds of thousands of patients treated at home to avoid lengthy hospital stays.

From September, 10,000 patients a day will be cared for on ‘virtual wards’, using wearable devices that allow doctors to monitor their vital signs remotely.

Health chiefs believe the expansion of the scheme, already the largest in the world, will free up hospital capacity and prevent another winter A&E crisis.

Every NHS region has set up virtual wards for frail over 65s, including dementia patients, and for respiratory conditions such as asthma or lung disease.

From this month the scheme will cover under 18s, allowing terminally ill children to stay at home with their families.

Amanda Pritchard, the NHS chief executive, said that their world-leading virtual wards programme marked a new era of NHS care and was a prime example of how the NHS has embarked on the latest technology and innovation to meet patients’ needs over the last 75 years.

She said research showed that people who were treated at home recovered at the same rate or faster than those treated in a hospital with the added benefit of being able to be with their loved ones or carers.

A newspaper outlet reported last year how the NHS intends to expand the ‘hospital at home’ scheme to treat 25,000 patients a day by next March.

Unfortunately, virtual wards will go with virtual doctors and nurses, and thousands of people will die needlessly, no doubt because they consider us irritating patients and we seem such a nuisance to the health care system.

Once upon a time we used to have community nursing staff, but that dwindled off gradually. Now we’ll all be sitting at home connected to smart devices while the NHS staff twiddle their thumbs, but our National Insurance contributions won’t go down, in fact, they’ll probably ask for more money.

Next, we’ll be having do-it-yourself prostate examinations.

Virtual healing, I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

Virtual wards so that when you die in your own home the statistics show that fewer people are dying in hospital.

There is, of course, no doubt that patients heal much better at home in their own environment, and recovering at home might be good in some instances, but not all instances. Those patients will have to meet certain criteria, like having somebody at home with them, and access gained easily if the patient has to be brought back into the hospital speedily, but of course, this won’t be the case as the NHS attempt to cut corners, but we all know that when corners are cut, catastrophic problems occur, and this sounds wonderful, but thousands of OAPs don’t have a PC or a smartphone, but who cares anyway!

I guess that if you’re in your own home, you might not pick up those nasty infections you seem to pick up in hospitals, but then people’s homes aren’t always sanitary enough to be hospital wards, and how are they going to administer medicine drips and tests? Perhaps you’ll get a virtual one and pretend medicine.

The concept sounds promising, but it will fail, due to the fact that the money needed to finance and run it will ultimately run out or get cut at some stage, or the medical equipment and tech support will prove too costly.

Even pacemakers are Bluetooth enabled and monitored remotely by the hospital cardio team. I guess it saves people from having to go for regular checkups, but if they were to be hacked, we might have numerous people with pacemakers dead on the streets or in their homes.

Virtual anything is virtual insanity!

An Innocent Man Was Wrongly Imprisoned For 17 Years

An innocent man who was wrongly jailed for 17 years for a crime he didn’t commit faces having to pay for prison ‘board and lodging’ as he blasted his ‘kidnappers’. 

Andrew Malkinson, now 57, on Wednesday finally won a 20-year battle to clear his name after he was in 2003 given a life sentence with a minimum term of seven years, after being found guilty of raping a woman in Greater Manchester.

Andrew Malkinson is now living on benefits but could be in line for up to £1 million in compensation for his wrongful conviction, but his lawyers warned their client may be waiting years, and the victim of the miscarriage of justice was additionally outraged by the possibility that he would have to pay for the ‘torture’ he suffered for nearly 20 years and that the substantial totality of his compensation might be deducted to be repaid to the prison, HMP Frankland, for food and accommodation expenses.

Mr Malkinson served ten more years because he maintained his innocence, but his conviction was quashed by senior judges at the Court of Appeal on Wednesday after DNA evidence linking another man to the crime came to light.

Charity Appeal, who took on the case, said it took Greater Manchester Police (GMP) to court twice to obtain evidence which had been withheld from the defence at Mr Malkinson’s original trial.

They also accused the force of unlawfully destroying critical evidence connected to the case.

Mr Malkinson told the BBC World at One that the rules around financial claims for wrongful imprisonment were ‘kind of sick’.

The rules were introduced by judges relating to the case of men who were wrongly convicted of the murder of paperboy Carl Bridgewater in 1978.

A 2007 decision by the House of Lords, which was at the time the UK’s highest court, said that cousins Vincent and Michael Hickey, who were freed by the Court of Appeal after their convictions were found to be flawed, said that their compensation should be decreased.

Michael Hickey was awarded £1.02 million and his cousin got £550,000 but both of their awards were lowered by a quarter as they hadn’t had to pay for living expenses while in custody. The law lords’ ruling was backed by the European Court of Human Rights after an appeal.

The Justice Secretary will also be integral to the decision of whether or not Mr Malkinson receives compensation, a maximum of £1 million for someone who’s been falsely incarcerated for ten years or longer.

Our legal system is a joke if they expect this man to pay for a prison sentence they implemented, but if you’re a migrant then you get everything for free.

They can take it out of the many millions they earn to pay this man for unlawful imprisonment, and for every year that he spent in there.

Send the bill to the Greater Manchester police, and let them pay for his lodgings.

This man should be paid at least 17 million for lost earnings and a life destroyed because even though he’s been found not guilty, this stigma will follow him around for the rest of his life, but to be honest, no amount of money will ever make up for the massive blunder that was made, but I’d just want to bleed the force dry for a false conviction.

So, it is true, the UK has become a madhouse run by the wokery, and this man will now find it difficult to find work and he will have people taking advantage of him, his whole life has gone to pot, the compensation needs to be extremely high because he spent time in prison for no reason at all, apart from the fact that the police were either inept or corrupt.

Mama Bear And Her Cub Take A Hot Tub Dip In California

Americans are looking for ways to combat the sweltering weather during one of the hottest heatwaves in years and it looks like animals are attempting to do the same.

A homeowner in Southern California caught a momma bear and her baby taking a dip in her pool to try and keep cool.

The wholesome moment happened on Wednesday afternoon at around 1.45 pm when temperatures reached highs of 91 degrees.

The footage was captured of the brown bears splashing around in the outdoor pool together.

A sizzling heatwave is presently gripping states in the Midwest, Northeast, and South and the heightened temperatures are set to continue this week, meteorologists have revealed.

A video clip, obtained by KTLA, shows a baby bear splashing around in the water before the momma bear comes into the frame and enjoys a playful interaction with her cub.

The two are seen playfighting on the side of the pool before the momma bear dips her front paws in.

She then jumps in and causes a large body of water to spew out of the pool.

The two bears are then seen briefly playing in the water before the baby gets out and runs out of the frame.

Bear sightings are said to be more common as the summer months heat up as people spend more time outdoors.

The National Park Service recommends keeping distance from bears, avoiding sudden movements that could surprise an animal, or hiding and scaring it.

They said that one should pay attention to their surroundings and make a special effort to be noticeable if you’re in an area with known bear activity or a good food source, such as berry bushes.

Bear attacks are rare. Most will only strike if they feel intimidated, to protect their cubs or to protect food.

The largest electric grid operator in the US issued a level one emergency alert on Wednesday, raising the spectre of its 65 million customers facing possible blackouts during a searing heatwave.

PJM Interconnection says it presently hopes to have sufficient power to meet the usual summertime demands.

Bosses there say they also have reserve capacity to meet additional demand, as Americans run their air conditioners to cool down.

In the Northeast, in states like New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC, highs are set to jump into the upper 90s.

This is truly adorable and brilliant that the momma bear does this for her cub, there are a lot of human parents out there that aren’t even this savvy.

However, there will be lots of hairballs blocking that filter and the water will need a fierce shock treatment. Just a small dog would be a problem, so I can’t imagine the mess after two bears, but let’s face it, everyone needs the bear necessities in life.

Profits Surge Nearly 900 Per Cent At British Gas

British Gas owner Centrica’s skyrocketing profits have been branded ‘indefensible’ as UK households continue to encounter high energy bills and cost of living pressures.

The energy giant revealed that earnings at its retail supplier business soared by almost 900 per cent as it was handed a price cap boost of about £500 million.

Centrica said underlying earnings at its gas and electricity supply arm jumped 889 per cent to £969 million in the six months to June 30 from £98 million a year earlier.

But enraged politicians described the profits as ‘actually sickening’ and ‘unearned’, while campaigners said it was a ‘future sign of Britain’s broken energy system’.

Shareholders were celebrating though, with Centrica’s stock price up 7 per cent after the firm proposed a 33 per cent annual increase in its interim dividend.

It comes four months after Centrica chief executives Chris O’Shea was given a £4.49 million pay package, which included £790,000 in pay plus £3.7 million in bonuses.

And that followed accusations that agents working for British Gas had forced their way into the homes of the poor and vulnerable to fit costly pre-payment meters.

Centrica said that it recouped £500 million of losses seen a year earlier after it was buoyed by Ofgem’s price cap in the first half of this year when customers saw their typical annual bills limited to £2,500 under the Energy Price Guarantee.

Overall, Centrica swung to a £6.5 billion operating profit in the first six months of 2023 against operating losses of £1.1 billion a year earlier. On an underlying basis, operating profits increased to £2.1 billion from £1.3 billion a year ago.

Energy firms saw their supplier profit margins hit last year when wholesale prices were sent soaring by Russia’s attack on Ukraine, but the price cap protected customers’ bills from the worst of the rises.

Ed Miliband, Labour’s shadow net zero secretary, told BBC Breakfast that what most people will recognise is good luck to these companies if they make profits, but these are unearned, unexpected profits.

The secretary said this was because Russia launched an appalling invasion of Ukraine and drove gas prices up, and the only long-term answer to this was to move off fossil fuels as quickly as they can because even though they imported very small amounts from Russia before the war, they’ve been so badly affected as a country.

It was added that was why the drive to increase onshore wind, solar energy, and offshore wind, cheaper than fossil fuels, was the right answer for the country, and the regret was not just that they don’t have a proper windfall tax, they don’t have a Government committed to that green sprint either.

The fact is, we don’t have a cost of living crisis, we have a greed crisis.

This is theft and British Gas is involved in daylight robbery.

I suppose that’s the nature of capitalism. Maximise profits and growth by any means necessary. This isn’t an endorsement of communism but our present economic models only benefit the mega-rich, while the average person struggles to attain the basics in life, where does it end?

And it appears that now companies can act with impunity and charge what they want and there’s nothing anyone can or will do – it’s a gravy train, and what will Brits do about it, nothing! They’ll just whine about it, emit a few tut-tuts and sit back and take it.

Margaret Thatcher and the Tories sold off all our utilities to the highest bidder. Whoever thought this was going to end well needed their head testing.

This is a deliberate transfer of wealth because once the elites have destroyed the middle class, then all that’s left are the obscenely wealthy despots and the extremely poor who are desperate – is this a coincidence, well that’s for the masses to determine.

‘Ghost Children’ Who Quit School After COVID

A think tank study has warned that a ‘tidal wave of youth crime’ will hit Britain if action isn’t taken to reverse a post-COVID surge in school absence.

The Centre for Social Justice has identified a generation of ‘ghost children’, those who are set to be persistently absent in their last year of school if present absence rates aren’t addressed.

This risks an additional 9,000 extra young offenders, including 2,000 more violent criminals, by 2027 if left unresolved, the think tank discovered.

.

They concentrated their study on students projected to leave school in Year 11 in 2025, a so-called ‘lost generation’ who started secondary school just as COVID lockdowns hit.

The CSJ, which was set up by ex-Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith, warned of a £100 million a year cost to the taxpayer from soaring youth criminality related to school absence.

Their recent report said that rates of school absence have soared since the first COVID lockdown in 2020.

The number of persistently absent pupils, those missing more than 10 per cent of school time, increased to 32 per cent in 2022 among Year 11 pupils, up from 16 per cent just before the pandemic.

The number of persistently absent pupils increased by over 800,000 since 2019 to 1.7 million last autumn.

It’s also been shown that the number of severely absent pupils, those missing more than half of their school time, has more than doubled since 2019.

The CSJ analysis of Department for Education and Ministry of Justice research found persistently absent pupils are three times as likely to commit an offence by age 17 than pupils fully attending school.

The think tank is calling for ministers to ‘radically upscale’ their response to school absence, including a national rollout of ‘attendance mentors’ to tackle the underlying cause of absence.

Andy Cook, chief executive of the Centre for Social Justice, said that the Government needs to take absence seriously if they were to stop a lost generation of children suffering the consequence of lockdown for decades to come.

He said that alongside stunting academic attainment, children with a history of school absence were three times more likely to commit an offence than those who routinely attended school.

He added that for the sake of these children’s future, and for the safety of our streets, the government must stop tinkering around the edges and accelerate the national rollout of attendance mentors, ensuring all children benefit from an education that sets them up for life.

However, it would be a good idea if schools actually focused on teaching real-life skills.

Kids effectively missed a year and a half of school, and it’s been hard work ever since trying to get some of these kids back into school, and teachers striking hasn’t helped a great deal. Just one of the many reasons why the lockdown cure was more destructive than the disease.

But it’s not just COVID, the public school system is broken.

So many children leave primary school so full of hope and confidence for secondary school, only to have their spirits and identity destroyed by a system that only cares about the highest performing students and wants every child to be a robot.

It’s all ridiculous with their heavy-handed regulations and targets, with too much homework and very little support to learn, and it’s not surprising that so many kids don’t want to be there anymore. The system is broken and it’s heartbreaking.

Schooling now only recognises academic achievement and bombards kids with a daily practice of social conditioning that so many find unnatural, so you can appreciate why many see no real-life benefit to being there.

It Wasn’t Until His Children Were 10 That Sir Keir Starmer Let Them Eat Meat

Sir Keir Starmer has admitted he didn’t let his children eat meat until they were 10 years old.

The Labour leader, a pescatarian, said he and his vegetarian wife Victoria didn’t have meat or fish in the house when they were raising their son and daughter.

At the age of about 10 years old, they told their son he could do what he liked, and he immediately started eating KFC and McDonald’s.

However, he told the Table Manners podcast, hosted by pop singer Jessie Ware and her mother Lennie, that the couple’s daughter has still never eaten meat or fish.

Sir Keir Starmer has spoken previously about becoming vegetarian 25 years ago, before reintroducing fish to his diet.

He said he found avoiding seafood ‘too much’, but described his wife as a ‘proper vegetarian’.

He said that he still struggles because he loves meat and that if you give up fish or meat on a matter of principle you still hanker after it.

The couple’s son is now aged 15, while their daughter is 12, and describing their parenting, Sir Keir Starmer said that they don’t have meat or fish in the house, they don’t cook it, and until his children were about 10 years old they were just eating with them.

He added that at the age of 10, they said that they could do what they liked and their boy said great and the moment they go out there’s a Deliveroo for Kentucky Fried Chicken or McDonald’s.

So, their son has taken full, sort of, liberty with the licence to do what he likes. However, Sir Keir Starmer said his daughter has never in her life tasted meat or fish, and when Lennie Ware challenged Sir Keir Starmer that many vegetarians cook meat for their children, he replied that they never did.

The Labour leader also insisted the family has no problem if their son wants to order non-vegetarian meals when they dine out.

But of course, this is another day, another bandwagon for Sir Keir Starmer as he attempts to get veggies to vote Labour. There really can’t be many minority and special interest groups left for him to target.

Sir Keir Starmer really does come across as a very weak, indecisive and ineffectual individual, and surely if his son wanted to eat meat, his parents should have provided healthier alternatives other than junk food.

The man’s bonkers and did he really try using his children to make him look more interesting? And isn’t that a form of conditioning to deny your child all food groups for idealistic reasons?

Most of us don’t even care about Sir Keir Starmer’s kids and definitely don’t get up in the morning thinking, ‘I wonder what Starmer’s kids are doing today or what they’re eating’.

What we do care about is the boats, inflation, lowering taxes, creating investment and jobs and all those other tedious things that impact everyday normal people that are the backbone and lifeblood of this country, and if everyone downed their tools and never went into work for a week, this country would come to a standstill and so would our so-called Government.
