Current Affairs The Labour Party

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Ps am I reaching Davek levels of babble yet? I can do better, if not.

Don’t know why people are taking a stab at defending Starmer and this labour lot. Being slightly better than the Tory vermin does not deserve accolades or praise.

A Labour Party main priorities should be supporting and delivering for working class people. Not caught with their faces in the trough or taking money off pensioners.

 

[peteblue]

I’ve already said I’m willing to pay more tax to fix the mess this country is in.

How does it feel to know you’ll probably never see another Tory government in your lifetime?

Sir Freebie will be gone in 5 years, hopefully I’ll still be around….

 

[orchard]

WTF?

How much do you think he has that would make it right that he takes free gear in an age of austerity...or anytime in fact?

Nothing, imo all ministers ought to be professional and keep their integrity beyond the pale.

Give it a year and people will start to see the bigger picture. I’m sure your lot are willing to sacrifice the equivalent of a pint a week for the greater good

The freebie thing makes me laugh. If you’re on about clothes etc… you do realise celebrities and people in high positions get “freebies” to help promote brands. It’s been going on for decades.

This is the New New Caring Labour Party, at least Sue Gray and all the special advisors have had a nice pay rise……

I have no idea why Sue Gray is even a thing. It’s just all ridiculous.

Let's just say he's fabulously rich and doesn't require handouts for himself or his wife to get clothes and glasses or attend matches.

I know was being a little pedantic. But where does gifts become a problem. Every PM gets even free stuff it's part of the course of hospitality and media in this country and most countries.

One of the ironic perks of being rich and famous is people give you stuff for nothing. Don't think David Beckham paid to watch Wrexham Vs Birmingham.

 

[Sean Ashley]

You won't get an argument from me on that. But I'd advise you turn your ire toward a 'Labour' Government that won't extend child tax credit beyond two children - a hindrance that plunges millions of lower income families into poverty.

It's an issue no doubt I'll agree there.

David Beckham didn’t remove the WFA from vulnerable pensioners, and Free Gear Keir and his wife Victoria Sponge has taken more freebies that all Labour leaders combined since 1997, and bearing in mind that includes Blair that’s some going. Gifts become a problem because there’s usually a quid pro quo involved and the fact he’s been preaching of how morally superior he is only adds to the hypocrisy. He’s been found out more quickly than anyone could have expected…an absolute lying charlatan ……

Frankly Dave, folk are bad Tories. They voted for what they wanted.

We're seeing it play out over pensions. It's been happening for years. Self-centredness. It's at the heart of socialism too, in truth.

Sorry mate, we're seeing the logical conclusion of the pigdog capitalist mindset of the average Briton.

If Putin nuked us, he'd be doing us a favour comrade.

Ha Ha ha.

FFS.

You dont take freebies when you're taking cash off 10 million pensioners.

I mean, how politically ignorant can you get?

Starmer is given way too much credit. IMO he's pretty 'kin thick if he believes he can get away with claiming 100k in gifts since he became 'Labour' leader.

He's a technocrat, not a politician. Any Labour politician at his level would know the optics of this and swerve it. He's not up to the job.

 

[davek]

Special advisors and Ministers all at each others throats for pay rises to go on top of their already massive salaries.

This is what you get with Starmer's 'Labour' Party.

Keir Starmer's top aide Sue Gray paid more than the PM

A row breaks out within government after the prime minister's chief of staff is given a pay rise.

They're already falling apart in Scotland...and this is before the austerity budget next month.

And boris Johnson wasn’t a lying charlatan?
