Middle-aged Swifties are weird

It speaks to an emotional immaturity

  • From Spectator Life
The Starmers at the Eras Tour earlier this year.

The Starmers were supposed to have the moral high ground – at least according to Labour eschatology – and yet we read of their grubby relationship mega-donor Waheed Alli. Alli was given a security pass to 10 Downing Street in return for his money. During the election, he lent Team Keir the use of his £18 million Covent Garden home. Lady Starmer, meanwhile, certainly has time and taste for more than NHS occupational health work. Vics was pictured front row at the show of London Fashion Week’s wokest designer, Edeline Lee, dressed head to toe in Lee’s own creation, a polka dot dress (on loan), worth over £1,000. Altogether, Vicky has been clothes-horsed in £5,000 of designer-wear courtesy, once again, of Alli.

I’m not tone deaf; I grew up playing the violin, and love Beethoven piano sonatas as well as mid-period Beatles, 1990s grunge and grime

For me, more off-putting from an austerity Labour first lady was her appearance at a Taylor Swift concert in Wembley.
