Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and Prime Minister Liz Truss leaving Westminster Hall

SIR KEIR STARMER has joined calls for Liz Truss to turn down an annual allowance of up to £115,000 a year, which she can claim for the rest of her life, despite serving just 44 days as PM.

The Labour leader said it would be the “right thing to do” for Ms Truss to decline the allowance. 

“She’s done 44 days in office, she’s not really entitled to it, she should turn it down and not take it,” he told ITV today.
