Perhaps it is because he has declared himself a socialist. Perhaps it is because of his apparent closeness to the World Economic Forum and other equally nefarious organisations. Perhaps it is his past as Director of Public Prosecutions. Or perhaps it is all three.
As Stark Naked Brief noted, “There is a lot about Keir Starmer that the wider public does not know.”
Keir Starmer is a former Director of Public Prosecutions (“DPP”) and Head of the Crown Prosecution Service (“CPS”), where he was central in making sure the case against Julian Assange continued.

All CPS files on Savile were destroyed in October 2010; it is an open question whether Starmer himself made that call, and if so, why.
After reviewing the CPS’s handling of the Savile case in 2012, Starmer reportedly “came very close to rubber-stamping the original decision not to prosecute,” before appointing his own CPS chief legal adviser, Alison Levitt, to conduct the formal inquiry.
