Starmer has spoken in the past about his protectiveness towards Nick, who developed learning difficulties after complications during his birth.

At school, Nick was labelled “remedial” and told he would never be able to read, though he proved this wrong. He was put in a special group who took lessons at a village hall and did not sit exams, and he left school without any formal qualifications.

He later gained a technical qualification and worked in scrap cars and scaffolding, but he struggled in life. His lifelong health problems made it difficult for him to hold down a job long term.

“Nick didn’t have many friends and got called ‘thick’ or ‘stupid’ by other kids,” Starmer told Baldwin. “Even now I try to avoid using words like that to describe anyone.”

There are no " Labour Types " now as Labour has long since morphed into a lab/con/democrat/green party.

Correct, Glasgow. It should be called the Homogenised Party!
