“Keir Starmer does not need to have his clothes bought for him - he should have gone to Specsavers like everyone else” Columnist Jill Kirby and Labour’s Lucy Powell discuss politicians receiving gifts, with Powell claiming Starmer has always been “transparent” #bbcqt

Thanks to @BBCQuestionTime for having me on this evening. We discussed crucial issues facing the UK, including the proposed cuts to winter fuel payments. I argued that what looks like savings in the short term might be a cost in the long term. Cutting support to vulnerable

This might just be the most spectacular two minutes of Kamala’s nonsensical wisdom I have ever heard.

Turns out, Jess Phillips only "tells it like it is" when it suits her career.

"They know full well it will never work..." Home Office and border staff officials tell Byline Times that the new Government's plan to tackle small boats is little more than a rebranding exercise of the Conservative party's same failed strategy bylinetimes.com/2024/09/20/yve…

When a fib collides with the truth, in under ten seconds.

Somebody with power and influence accepting nice gifts and expecting us to believe there is such thing as a free lunch is...gaslighty. We're being expected to just accept that powerful businessmen are just generous to our PM and don't want access, favours and more.

Cash For Access

As the CPS apparently used a dubious 10 year retention policy to destroy documents relating to Starmer’s tenure as DPP, we may never know what freebies, if any, the freeloader received from Mohammed Al-Fayed and Harrods 🤷🏼‍♂️ declassifieduk.org/cps-does-not-k…

What about those of us who consistently opposed the Tories’ rule breaking, sleaze and corruption? Are we allowed to speak out about Starmer showering himself with freebies from rich donors and companies, while backing policies which drive kids and pensioners into poverty?

Before Keir Starmer failed to declare donations for his wife, the Labour leader billed the taxpayer nearly £250,000 for travel expenses as head of the CPS. This included £160,000 for a chauffer-driven car despite living just four miles from his office. declassifieduk.org/revealed-keir-…

Fighting over freebies, power and pay? This is not what Labour government is for – and members must say so theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Starmer is going to the Labour party conference with his tail between his legs

The Prime Minister, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Deputy Prime Minister will no longer accept bribes

You’re either against politicians receiving these gifts or you’re not. Anyone clutching at straws saying that ‘the Tories were worse’ is splitting hairs. It’s either OK, or it’s not.
