I bet you he’s got Oasis tickets as well.
With that much he could probably afford two!
Stop reporting on this and start reporting on all the Russian money that’s been going to the Conservative Party for the last 15 years. Show this in context, that’s my advice.
No, don’t stop reporting on this just because the other side is even more dirty. That kind of attitude is partly why we’re in this situation today.
They should all be held accountable, no matter which party.
Breaking the rules is still breaking the rules. The guardian can report on both.
Except starmer hasent.
He came forward on his own recognisance in the one occation he relised he had. And reported it to parliment.
The rest of the gifts were all reported and are entirly within the rules.
“It’s my side doing it, so nothing to see here”.
The point is that the two are not comparable. I’m not a great fan of starmer or whatever the ‘Labour party’ is today, but claiming starmer’s wife receiving some clothes from a Labour donor is in any way comparable to the Conservative Party accepting large amounts of money from an unfriendly foreign power is fucking nuts.
They compare gifts declared - and not declared - by previous PMs in the article though
I would like to hold the politicians I vaguely support to a higher standard than the tories.
This is really, really bad for Starmer. But let’s be honest, the gifts are only higher in value because other PMs didn’t declare what they were getting!
This isn’t a new thing. He was late declaring donors for the leadership. Media ignored it because they hate the left of the Labour Party.
This guy is far from squeeky clean. Fortunately for him, what he follows is far worse.
But let’s be honest, the gifts are only higher in value because other PMs didn’t declare what they were getting!
The longer you keep pretending he’s any better than any of the others, the harder the reality will smack you in the face when/if you’re eventually willing to acknowledge it - Starmer is in politics to serve Starmer.
Regime whores gonna regime whores but I don’t understand the “me daddy good” bullshit…
Y’all ain’t on the same team folks!
