Keir Starmer has been accused of – and neither he nor No 10 have denied – that he used a tax dodge to avoid inheritance tax on his parents’ estate, by giving them land through a ‘trust’ that would ultimately come back to him along with the rest of their estate, without incurring inheritance tax.
I honestly feel like good people are in short supply. Maybe it’s just a truth that since no one is perfect, we must accept ones faults.
Should we judge others by who they were, who they are, or who they will be?
On what metric should we boost our leaders? Those who get stuff done? Those who share a similar sentiment and belief?
I’m disappointed in the direction Starmer has gone from where we thought he would take us.
His actions got him where he is. Should we look for leaders who will offer hope despite where they came from?
Can we move on from past transgressions on the hope that a better future lie ahead?
Good people are in short supply by design.
