SIR Keir Starmer was last night accused of lying to voters as it emerged “working people” will be hit in next week’s Budget.

Labour’s election manifesto promised to freeze rates of income tax, National Insurance and VAT for those hard-pressed Brits.

But now the PM has warned landlords and shareholders are not covered by the pledge.

And while he put those with “assets” in the crosshairs, Chancellor Rachel Reeves admitted some “working people” will face rises anyway.

She committed only to not hiking “key” levies on them.

Ms Reeves had already spooked employers by saying the NI vow did not apply to their contributions.

Asked to define “working people” Sir Keir told Sky he meant someone who “goes and earns their living, usually paid in a sort of monthly cheque” but cannot “write a cheque to get out of difficulties”.

Pressed if this included people with assets, he said: “Well, they wouldn’t come within my definition.”

Downing Street later backtracked, suggesting he meant those who “primarily get their income from assets” but “not precluding people that have a small amount of savings”.

Shadow Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said: “The Prime Minister has no clue as to what the definition of a ‘working person’ even is. It’s clear that everyone will bear the brunt.

“They planned this all along, they just didn’t have the courage to tell the public.”

Top Tory Claire Coutinho added that Sir Keir “straight up lied” during the campaign.

And, with data suggesting some 30 per cent of landlords still work full-time, industry leader Ben Beadle said: “It is simply not true landlords are not working people.”

BIG Brother’s Izaaz has become the third person to be evicted from the famous house.

The news came as a huge shock to viewers as they expected Marcello to get the boot – after his controversial time in the house.

Izaaz, Khaled, Marcello and Nathan were all up for eviction.

But it has been Marcello who has caused a series of issues throughout his stay – not Izaaz.

And things reached boiling this point week after Marcello was seen grabbing Lily by the neck in shock scenes.

Those watching at home are convinced the wrong person has gone home.

One person raged: “This has gotta be a fix there is no way people voted izzaz over marchello.”

A second said: “Ain’t no way people were voting to evict Izaaz. This is a blatant fix.”

While a third commented: “You left the misogynist in the house. I bet you any money this is a fix.”

Marcello’s shock moment

In scenes that aired on the compound’s live feed on Wednesday night, Lily was seen sticking her fingers up at Marcello as she walked by him.

In response, Marcello grabbed her by the wrist with one hand and put his other briefly around her neck.

Lily quickly pulls her head away from him, and he then throws his arm around her in a half-hug before she shrugs him off and walks away. 

Insiders say Marcello was later given a talking to by Big Brother bosses.

A source told us: “The moment was spotted by fans during the live stream but didn’t make the next day’s 60-minute episode.

“However, Marcello was reminded of Big Brother’s expectation for appropriate behaviour and language while in the house.”

Anti-Semitism row

That wasn’t the only drama the house saw this week – an episode was edited following concerns raised about a Ali’s T-shirt containing an alleged “symbol widely associated with anti-Israel sentiment”.

Ali wore a watermelon T-shirt on the ITV2 show that appeared to resemble the colours of the Palestinian flag in red, green, white and black, and what seemed like the shape of the disputed Israel and Palestine territories.

Meanwhile, Marcello has repeatedly come under fire by viewers for his behaviour in the house, with him being accused of ‘misogynistic’ remarks towards female housemates.

During one moment, Marcello was seen telling Sarah she “smelled like period” and asked her if she was menstruating when she was in a bad mood.

He was also asked by Ali to stop making sexually graphic remarks with the members of the house when they didn’t ask for it.

The youth worker had previously falsely claimed he and Ali had kissed – prompting a wave of Ofcom complaints.

A MUM who refused to leave the house because her hair loss was so bad now has the “thick and shiny” locks from her teens again after creating a three-ingredient wonder pill.

Kirin Shabir, 36, noticed her hairline starting to thin around two years ago.

The mum of two, from Scotland, said it was a “horrific” and emotionally challenging experience.

“The pain it causes really goes beyond the physical impact, it knocks your confidence”, she said.

“It caused me tremendous pain. I was so insecure. I did not want to leave the house. I didn’t go to any events.

“It just completely took over my life because I feel hair is a part of who you are. It’s a part of your identity and when you don’t have that, it’s painful.”

She added: “I was losing so much hair that I eventually had to start wearing a half-head wig just to feel somewhat presentable.

“It completely shattered my confidence.”

Kirin said she “tried everything” to get her hair to grow back – from supplements and gummies to hair oils and a £2,500 treatment she later realised “would have no effect”.

She also went to her local GP but was unable to find a solution.

Eventually, the frustrated mum – who takes a holistic approach with her health – decided to take matters into her own hands and create a solution.

She said: “I started researching and researching and researching day and night because it was the only thing I could think about from the minute I woke up to the minute I went to bed.”

And her end product? A simple pill, since branded as Wonderpill, containing three ingredients with no “nasty” binding agents or fillers.

Saw palmetto works to reduce DHT levels that cause hair follicles to get smaller and hair loss.

Meanwhile, rosemary enhances scalp circulation and reduces inflammation to promote hair growth, and pumpkin seed is rich in fatty acids and nutrients to nourish hair follicles.

Revealing her short journey with the pill, Kirin, founder of Serenoa Health, said: “So when Wonderpill was born initially, obviously I started taking it myself and within a few weeks, my mind was just blown by the results that I had.

“I didn’t understand that a product that’s so natural, yet so potent, how this wasn’t readily available for women, for me, I just couldn’t understand how this wasn’t a thing.

“The first two to four weeks I did notice that my hair fall had decreased rapidly, I’d say up to about 50%.

“Going into six to eight weeks, I had literally no hair fall. There was no hair falling out in the shower when I was brushing it.

“Nine to twelve weeks is when I started noticing like baby hairs, small, small, small hairs coming through.

“Fast forward to a year, I feel like my hair is back to when I was 16, 17, 18.

“It’s thick, it’s shining and more importantly I’m not stressed to go take a shower or brush my hair. It just feels amazing.”

Kirin then let her two sisters try her product, with them both seeing “tremendous results” within two weeks.

“[Then] I was like right okay, this needs to be out there, this really needs to be out there”, she said.

“There has got to be millions of women who don’t want to leave the house and feel so insecure.

“I want to make women feel good about themselves. So Wonderpill, I would say, is not just a supplement, it’s an actual lifestyle upgrade.”

Wonderpill promises to reduce hair loss, balance hormones for PCOS sufferers, and provide relief for IBS symptoms.

And Kirin is so confident in her product, that customers are guaranteed their money back if they don’t see a difference in 12 weeks.

She promises that beauty fans will see a noticeable stoppage of hair fall in and around the full scalp within four to eight weeks, complete stoppage by week 16 and beyond week 17, hairs which previously would have fallen out will grow instead, making your scalp fuller.

The mum has since been inundated with glowing reviews from stunned beauty fans who’ve given it a go.

One said: “Tomorrow marks two weeks of me being on the hair pills and today was my first day I had a shower and zero hair fall.

“Honestly, I am so grateful I found yourself, and honestly shocked as I’ve tried so many different ranges of products and brands.

“100% you have hit it on the nail with these. I’m looking forward to the coming weeks.”

A second gushed: “I’ve been taking it for a bit now and I’m already seeing a difference in the strength and shine of my hair.”

After just a month of using Wonderpill, a third chimed in: “I’m definitely noticing more baby hair.

“My hair loss hasn’t stopped completely, but it’s still given me a good head start in recovering my hair!”

Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: “My hair is so much better. Even my eyebrows are growing like crazy.

“Even when tying my hair up everyone has noticed a difference and said it’s looking so much better which is crazy because it’s not even been that long. Honestly, I’m so happy.”

Overwhelmed by the positive feedback, Kirin told us: “It’s the best feeling! Every time someone shares their progress or says they feel more confident, it makes everything worth it.

“Knowing that Wonderpill is helping others regain their hair and more importantly, their confidence is incredibly satisfying.”

Wonderpill is available at SerenoaHealth.com, RRP £49.99 for 60 capsules.

WOKE BBC chiefs have slapped a trigger warning on one of Michael Palin’s much-loved travel documentaries.

An episode of the comedy great’s Around the World in 80 Days was whacked with a guidance alert over scenes where a snake is cooked up for dinner.

In the 1989 series’ fifth episode, the Monty Python star, sees a snake beheaded and skinned[/caption]

In the 1989 series’ fifth episode, the Monty Python star, now 81, sees the beast beheaded and skinned by a chef while in Guangzhou, southern China.

After finishing the dish — considered a local delicacy — Sir Michael says: “That’s great. It’s lovely.”

But a note has now been added on BBC iPlayer, explaining that the show “contains upsetting scenes”.

Warning labels are usually applied to shows with strong language, violence or nudity, and now also appear on web listings for some classic comedies.

Last night, Tory frontbencher Sir Alec Shelbrooke blasted execs for “taking the hiss”.

He said: “These things happen around the world, yet the BBC says ‘you better not watch that, it might upset you’. This decision has been made by snowflakes in office with no experience of the world.”

Toby Young, head of the Free Speech Union, added: “Surely viewers of Around the World in 80 Days tune in precisely so they can see weird and wonderful things from the other side of the world.

“What’s next? Will I’m A Celebrity be given a trigger warning? ‘Contains scenes of D-list glamour models eating kangaroo testicles that some viewers may find upsetting’.”

A BBC spokesman insisted: “Like other broadcasters and streaming services, we add guidance labels to some programmes on BBC iPlayer depending on the content.”

Earlier this month we told how ITV’s crime staple Midsomer Murders had been slapped with similar warnings for “several references to witchcraft”.

And a Bake Off Halloween special has been flagged as potentially spooky — with Channel 4 ruling that it “isn’t suitable for younger viewers”.
