It won’t “go away” because people who’s “team” lost at the last election who were happy to turn a blind eye to it whilst their glorious leaders were in charge, need something to cling to.
It really is that simple.
There have been no rules broken.
If it is illegal, then let’s have every mp scrutinised to this degree and see what benefits they have received from party donors and hospitality over the last few years.
No it isn't.
You're kidding yourself if you think it's just Blue Tories who are on Starmer and his gang's case.
This isn't some Westminster Village game of whataboutery.
This lot - Starmer's lot - are currently in the process of slicing into welfare spending to be announced in the budget, and have taken cash off pensioners already and told people in low income families with more than one kid that they'll remain in poverty...and you think hiding behind some perverse rule that allows them to take thousands of points in freebies (£100,000 in Starmer's case) is anything but a scandal?
They said they were getting shut of the Tories to clean politics up, but they're up to their eyes in freebies - MPs on £80,000 per annum + tens of thousand more in expenses and Cabinet Ministers on £150,000 per annum and tens of thousands more in expenses getting freebies on top of all that while they tell the poorest to pay the price.
It's utterly 'kin shameful, and you know it too.
