Keir Starmer enjoys Majorca getaway after Labour slams Tories for taking holidays during cost of living crisis
SIR Keir Starmer is snapped tucking into tapas in Majorca days after Labour blasted top Tories for taking holidays during the cost of living crisis.
The opposition leader slipped away for a break with wife Victoria and their two children as the economic slump deepened.
Sir Keir, 59, was seen enjoying wine as he dined outdoors at a swish hotel restaurant in Port de Soller.
British tourist Henry Mayles, 31, told The Sun: “I was surprised to see him enjoying himself on holiday after Labour laid into the Tories for doing exactly the same thing.
“Everyone’s entitled to a holiday but it’s time he practised what he preaches.
“I’m not particularly inclined to vote for any party but I couldn’t help feeling he was a bit of hypocrite.”

Labour had hit out as PM Boris Johnson and Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi were both on holiday while inflation rose.
Sir Keir was back in the UK yesterday in time for an engagement in Edinburgh as aides insisted he had been kept up to speed on mounting economic woes while away.
His return came after ex Labour PM Gordon Brown took a sly dig declaring “crises don’t take holidays”.
Labour insiders insisted that Mr Brown’s comments were aimed at the Tories and that Sir Keir had been “on calls” every day while away.
