What Does Lady Victoria Starmer Do?

[woofgang]

Keir Starmer says that his wife works in the NHS and is a key worker but never says what role she has in the NHS....it has been said that she is an Occupational Therapist which she is not, then that she works in Occupational Health (???) by qualification she is a solicitor but does anybody know what her actual NHS job is?

[woofgang]

no I am not saying she needs to say where she works and so on. Just what her job is....either that or shut up about "My wife works in the NHS"

[woofgang]

Paigntonian but did Mrs Thatcher even make capital of it?

[sherrardk]

Well she works in NHS occupational health, why do you need any more information than that?

[woofgang]

because that was only said after "Occupational Therapy" was edited out of the articles and, as I said, most people in NHS occy health have got a clinicaL qualification and then do extra training on top if needed.

[woofgang]

if therer hadn't been the original misstatement, then the obfuscation then KS's mention of his wife's job twice to make political points, I wouldn't be so interested.

[sherrardk]

Maybe she’s not most people?

I actually know nothing about the intricacies of this thread but was under the impression that anyone who works for the NHS, whatever they do, have been classed as keyworkers. Similarly because I work for a defence contractor I have been classed as a keyworker throughout, as have all my colleagues even though my contribution towards getting us through Covid has been absolutely zero.

I would like to know too - I'm nosy!

Privacy appears to be the name of her game:

Perhaps, if she does enter politics, you may find out then.
Good for them to have kept part of their life private.

Pretty sure that if there's anything at all remotely dodgy about her job description, Boris and co will be all over it like a rash.

[bednobs]

also, as he has been going on about the NHS payrise today,i think it would be absolutely wrong of him NOT to mention he has a vested interest

[Peter Pedant]

Does she have to 'do' anything?

First used really of Stephen Tennant a rich and silly young man. One of the Guinness Tennant Glenconner family d 1987. " Stephen didnt 'do' anything - he existed."

[woofgang]

choux I wouldn't put an ounce of faith in wiki celebs

PP no she doesn't have to do anything....but have you read the whole thread....she obvs does do something!

[royfromaus]

I'm more interested to know... What Does Kier Starmer Do?

[choux]

That's ok, woof, I shan't waste any more time going through several links, incl Tatler.

[ichkeria]

I’ve no doubt she’s a wrong ‘in

You mark my words ;-)

[sherrardk]

Woof, who’s making capital out of what?

[grandpajoe]

She obviously writes his speeches !!!!

[pixie374]

Prudie... keyworkers have nothing to do with covid specifically, they are workers that we need, no matter what.

[Spungle]

She managed to get His Lordship a Covid jab anyway; to quote Sir Keir himself "Yesterday, my family were able to get a test quickly when we needed one, but only because my wife works in the NHS in a hospital that provides tests for staff and their families."
