Starmer and Reeves Profit from Landlord Ventures Amid Public Scrutiny
- The homes of Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are being rented out for substantial amounts.
- Starmer has paid off the mortgage on his property, while Reeves and her husband generate significant rental income.
- This situation raises questions about the Labour Party's commitment to working-class struggles as they face scrutiny.
After moving into Downing Street, Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves have opted to rent out their respective homes, bringing in substantial income. Starmer's north London home, worth around £2 million, is being offered for rent while he has cleared his mortgage. Meanwhile, Chancellor Reeves and her husband, Nicholas Joicey, are earning £74,000 annually from renting out properties, including a two-bedroom flat in central London. The decision comes amidst controversy regarding Labour's definition of 'working people' as they face accusations of hypocrisy. The revelation coincides with changes to a ministerial code, which emphasizes public confidence and accountability in response to recent scandals. Critics suggest that these developments reveal a lack of transparency and trust within the Labour Party and its promises to the electorate.
