Taylor Swift tickets: "I'll be honest, it was a hard one to turn down". The brass neck of the sleazy get.

The Wimbledon centre court tickets were all about 'education' apparently.


Ha ha ha.

Imagine what a mug you had to be to vote for these scumbags. Imagine having to recognise and accept your mistake? That must be really tough. No wonder the mugs are continuing to double down on the Starmer Gang grifters...backing his austerity campaign because they dont want to hold their hands up and admit they were hoodwinked like the mugs they are.

Taylor Swift concerts, Glastonbury tickets, hospitality for a sight seeing visit to NY and watching your favourite football team are not part of the duties of any MP as far as I'm aware.

These are well off / rich people using their positions for personal gain at a time when austerity is being imposed by them on the old and the poor.

The Starmer Gang should be ashamed of themselves, but instead they're letting it be know that the hospitality freebies will continue.

No wonder their ratings in the polls have fallen through the floor. They set themselves up as a new broom to sweep clean, instead they're a cesspit of sleaze themselves.

Mate he took all of them in his capacity as leader of the opposition. It’s not uncommon for people to be invited to those sorts of events in that role. And still everything he took totalled £100,000. £90,000 less then Borris took via a back handed trust paid to him by a lord just to do up his flat.

I’m not mentioning Borris to highlight what an odious little toad he is. I’m simply trying to show parity, you can’t call out Labour for being immoral in a time of hardship when every other MP does it, it’s mostly part of the role. There’s nothing illegal about accepting hospitality as an MP, it’s the not declaring it that’s immoral. Like when Borris conveniently lost the phone with the what’s app messages to the Lord that paid for his flat and said he couldn’t remember who paid for it or how much it cost. Then the info was found after he made 2 ethics chairs stand down for daring to question his ethics.

I don’t agree with some of the hospitality provided to either side but at least look at what happens on both sides of the fence before you start calling out the other side
 
Sorry just to add to this last year Labour MP’s took £298,151 in hospitality. In the same period Torie MP’s took £359,891 in free gifts, including tickets paid for by the water industry and thousands of pounds of clay-pigeon shoots and helicopter rides from wealthy donors. That Torie figure doesn’t include the gifts paid to cabinet ministers because it doesn’t have to be declared. Imagine what their actual figure is.

Seems like the Torie MP’s are taking things the common, poor man can relate to though. I’m always advocating for more clay pigeon shooting to alleviate the widespread inequality in society

Been looking into Lord Ali and the money he has gifted, who is what he, from very working class immigrant background. And one of few openly Gay Muslims. No surprise old white men in the media and their foot soldiers have an axe to grind...

Hold on, this is a 'Labour' Party that used anti-sleaze as one of its main weapons against the Tories over the last 4 years. Starmer built his reputation on it. They had to have completely clean hands to avoid looking like hypocrites. But they haven't got those clean hands. It's no good you trying to sugar coat it for them by stating they claimed less than the Tories, because they still claimed hundreds of thousands of pounds between them in free clothes, tickets, use of apartments etc etc.

At a time when these rats are taking £300 off pensioners and telling families with more than 2 kids they have to take the financial pain, that is a monumental loss of face...and it's reflected in all the current polling.

They are going to have to work really hard now to gain any credibility. This is looking like a lame duck government 3 months into a 5 year term.
