National Trust suspends Keir Starmer's membership

ree

The National Trust has voted to suspend Prime Minister Keir Starmer over his role in increasing National Insurance contributions.


Members of the organisation, one of the UK's largest, also overwhelmingly voted to re-examine its relationship with Labour over the issue.  They said Sir Keir had been suspended for bringing the organisation into disrepute, after the National Trust was forced to make 550 people redundant because of the extra costs of employers' national insurance and the minimum wage.


There was some confusion over Sir Keir’s membership of the National Trust. Number 10 claimed that he was no longer a member and had made the difficult decision to resign and cancelled his direct debit months ago, and therefore could not be suspended.


Number 10 remained tight lipped on various wild claims that Sir Keir was unhappy with Trust policies on fox hunting, slavery, colonialism, its relationships its with tenant farmers, car parking charges, and the price of scones.
