Last December, I warned Starmer had lifted lying to a new level, and he wasn’t going to stop. Well, he hasn’t. This week, the truth emerged about the shabby Chagos Islands handover.

Starmer said it would cost £3.4billion. The real figure? £35billion. If that doesn’t make your blood boil, here’s another 24 times Starmer was economical with the truth.

1. The 10 pledges con. Starmer won the Labour leadership by promising 10 hard-left policies, from scrapping tuition fees to ending the two-child benefit cap. Once in charge, he dumped the lot (to be fair, that was a good thing).

2. The Winter Fuel betrayal. Before the election, he led pensioners to believe the Winter Fuel Payment was safe. It wasn’t.

3. The social care stitch-up. He stayed silent on scrapping the £86,000 social care cap, then binned it without warning.

4. Waspi women abandoned. Starmer publicly demanded pledged “fair and fast” compensation for millions 1950s women hits by the rising state pension age. He took their votes and dumped them after taking office.

5. Breaking his ‘no tax rises’ vow. During the campaign, he repeatedly swore not to hike taxes on “working people”. Chancellor Rachel Reeves hit us with £40billion of taxes anyway. Her employer’s National Insurance (NI) hikes will be passed onto working people in the shape of lower wages and higher prices.

6. Then lying about what he’d said. As I exposed yesterday, during the election, Starmer promised not to increase national insurance. Yesterday, the Treasury claimed it had promised not to increase employee NI, which is a blatant lie.

7. Betrayed farmers. Starmer promised “certainty” to farmers, then hit them with inheritance tax on agricultural land. Families now face a lifetime of uncertainty.

8. Family firms misled. He vowed to work with business, then slapped NI and IHT on family-owned companies.

9. The £22billion ‘black hole’ lie. Starmer and Reeves claimed to discover a huge gap in the public finances post-election. Outraged, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said it had been “obvious to anyone who dared to look”.

10. Interest rate fiction. Never trust Starmer around a number. He told Parliament Labour inherited interest rates of 11%, more than double the true figure of 5.25%.

11. The Brexit two-step. His EU deal was a backdoor return to freedom of movement, betraying British workers. And he never told us what he was planning.

12. NHS outsourcing U-turn. Starmer once vowed to end private NHS contracts, now he’s pushing for them.

13. The gender truth dodge. The PM couldn’t even give a straight answer on whether women can have penises.

14. Cosying up to Beijing. Our lawyer PM talked tough on human rights, then embraced closer ties with Xi Jinping’s China while clamping down on civil liberties at home.

16. The social care numbers trick. Boasted of an £880million funding boost but hid that NI hikes will cost care homes £900million.

16. Border control collapse. The PM's promises to “smash the gangs” behind Channel crossings are meaningless. Nearly 50,000 illegal migrants have arrived since he took office.

17. Paying France to fail. Taxpayers send millions to France to “stop the boats”, and the French just watch them leave.

18. Freebie mania. Starmer has accepted more than £100,000 in gifts, including football and concert tickets, more than any other MP.

19. Clothing cover-up. He also failed to declare £5,000 worth of clothes for his wife from donor Lord Alli. It was later repaid, but only after being exposed.

20. Accommodation perks. Took free stays and other benefits from donors, fuelling “Freebiegate” claims.

21. Beergate unanswered. Starmer refuses to give full answers on the lockdown-breach allegations.

22. The Rachel Reeves effect. Dishonesty spreads: Reeves was caught on 12 lies within months of taking office.

23. Rushanara Ali hypocrisy. His housing minister backed reforms to stop landlords evicting tenants then hiking rents. Turns out she’d done it herself.

24. Dishonesty culture – From top to bottom, Labour’s culture of double-dealing rolls on, with Starmer setting the tone from day one.

Our PM says one thing, does another, and thinks we won’t notice. But we do – and we’re paying for it.
