This is the ‘poorly paid’ care worker sister of Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, MailOnline can reveal.
Katherine Swabey, a former NHS nurse, works gruelling 12-hour shifts in a care home for the elderly close to the village of Westerham, Kent where she is responsible for overseeing dozens of vulnerable residents.
As recently as last month, Ms Swabey, 57, a mother of four, was sharing a cramped annex adjoining a large, detached house with one of her grown up children and two grandchildren.
She was helping her son to pay rent of around around £1,000 per month in the tiny, three-bedroom annex but has now moved to East Grinstead, where friends revealed she has bought a ‘modest home.’
Ms Swabey’s situation and struggle to make ends meet was highlighted by her illustrious brother Sir Keir in the House of Commons as he lashed out at Boris Johnson’s plans to reform social care.
