Current Affairs The Labour Party

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

The other thing is, these Labour donations/gifts all have been declared. Johnson and the other conniving sewer rats did their utmost to hide and obfuscate what they'd received and where it came from.

It's bad optics for Labour, and somewhat stupid given the media in this country, but to compare it with the type of sleaze the Tories got up to is an entirely unfair and incorrect comparison.

One rather feels the media were waiting to pounce knowing Labour would declare.

None of it looks good, mind. Regardless if it is a suit or kitting out downing street with OTT gear (I'm looking at you Boris and Carrie).

Labour's especial problem is that it all comes at the same time they've announced the dim-witted wfa policy.

C'mon Pete a little less bitter lemon in you're drinks could be a good start. Admittedly average start but as we've witnessed over the past 14 years, they have taken over a disastrous position, it will take time we all knew that. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Indeed, Rome wasn’t build in a day, it just looks like it was…..

Sure, it's smelly, but it's mischief-making by a hostile press, primarily, and shouldn't be generating the coverage it is.

We need reform and it will be Tories who will squeal the loudest to stop change in lobbying/freebies.

Don’t forget, this is the Labour thread. I know it doesn’t seem like they are governing but Sir Freebie has confirmed “I’m in control”. Fancy having to do that and also announce that he wouldnt take any more free clothes because the Labour conference was coming up. This supposed government is a joke…a bad joke, but a joke nonetheless…….

I wonder if any gifts have been accepted only to be gifted onwards towards a charity or similar.

Of course not like the matt hancock situation where he managed to get his local pub licencee access to the covid vip lane somehow and any agreement made off the back of that.

Sad to see Dave become a Tory and have a meltdown in this thread this weekend.

Tried to pin down someone for a Glastonbury ticket, they'll find ways round it by getting access by giving a ten minute speech somewhere and be classed as part of the acts accesses. Green power, gb energy, recycling, similar...

35k knives got intercepted before sale last week, zombie knife stuff, is a set of glasses and a new frock more important than the county lines drugs gangs and the armed thugs within and the lives being lost weekly?

Shocked at that, I gotta say. Shocked.
