MILLIONAIRE rock star Paul Weller has blasted Sir Keir Starmer for not being left-wing enough.
And the ex-frontman of The Jam also praised communists for starting the Labour party.
Weller, 66, known to fans as the Modfather, told the Big Issue: “He (Sir Keir) is just a slightly softer version of the Tory party, isn’t he?
"He’d be well-served to remember who built the Labour party, trade unions and communists.
“So, I don’t see much difference between him and Sunak and all that mob.

"The fact that he’s a Sir puts me off a little bit in the first place.”
Weller, who recently released his 17th solo album 66, was one of Jeremy Corbyn’s more vocal supporters, playing the first Concert For Corbyn in 2016.
Paul, who helped found the Labour-backing collective Red Wedge in 1985, also spoke about homelessness — theme of the video for song I Woke Up.
He insisted there should be a “support system” so homeless people don’t go back on the streets, adding: “But that’s in an ideal world.
"Because of all the cuts, that’s not going to happen.
"It’s f***ed.”
