It makes Sir Keir the first to have rejected the offer outright, prompting claims he is “driven by hatred for the rich”. Michael Knight, who has been a member of the club for more than 30 years, criticised the “crass” response, claiming it showed that Labour was “more driven by hatred of the rich than by love and concern for the poor”.

Even more helpings of it for you today. Revealed that Big Starm isn't just sticking two fingers up to the Chequers Set, but he's also given the "King's Pageant Master" short shrift over his plans for the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

Bruno Peek, the pageant master who has organised royal and national celebrations for more than 40 years and is behind the plans for VE Day, is frustrated that the government has distanced itself from his idea.

“I would like the prime minister of the UK to help lead [I Vow to Thee My Country] at 9.30pm on 8 May,” Peek said. “I’m hoping that Sir Keir Starmer will stand up and sing with us.”

The government has so far declined to commit to working with Peek or to endorse the plans for people to eat fish and chips, which is a nod to the fishermen who braved German U-boats and mines, and the farm workers who ensured that the national dish was among the few foodstuffs not rationed during the war. Peek has challenged Keir Starmer and MPs to work with him and to come out to support his plan for people to sing the hymn, which is about love and sacrifice and derives from a poem by Sir Cecil Spring Rice, set to music by Gustav Holst.

“If I was Keir Starmer, I’d be on the phone to me right now, because I’ve got 43 years of experience of organising,” Peek, 73, said.

My favourite bit of this story is the fact that because nobody wants to do the boring things he's planned, Peek is accusing everyone else of having a big ego:

Peek, who plans to retire after next year’s events, has often worked independently of government at previous national celebrations but is unimpressed. “This is why I get frustrated,” he said. “There are too many egos getting in the way.”

Boring things like honouring fishermen who risked their lives on the open seas to keep the country fed. Yeah, that's sooo boring.

Good job Starmer stood up to that fascist.

Socialism in action.™️

Exactly, we're winning every day with Starmzy in charge.

Also singing a hymn = boring and increasingly irrelevant to more of the nation's population. My point was more though that he has the gall to criticise other people's "big egos" despite literally saying "If I was Keir Starmer, I’d be on the phone to me right now".

If you'd rather adopt the palace's side in this then that's up to you, didn't have you down as much of a Royalist but it goes with the rest of your pro-Tory sentiment across the year so lean in.
