The Labour Government

[Ifwecouldjust.......]

It's not only optics.

It's fucking diabolical rank hypocrisy that speaks volumes about the nature of the man in question. He spent YEARS spouting vitriol at the Tories for this sort of thing, whilst all along, doing the exact same thing, only more so, himself. What sort of person does that? What does that say about his sense of superiority above others? One rule for everyone else, but ok for him.

Second, there are genuine questions about improper influence being gained and in certain circumstances, direct conflict of interest.

Only More so himself ?

I said "Starmer has received 166% more in bungs than any other MP over the last 5 years" and here's the data

I don't see Boris on there, or any other ministers receiving more than £107,145.

And he has form in this department, having spent £250,000 on expenses during his 5 year term as DPP, whereas his successor spend half that during the same term of 5 years. He likes the high-life at the expense of others, does our Free Gear Keir.

I mean the ones mentioned who have more, Johnson, Truss and May aren’t MPs any longer.

Surely you appreciate that?

£6.4m is total gifts, donations, payments and other benefits for their various side hussles such as book writing, speeches and the such

If you want to compare like with like then 2019 onwards Starmer is on £925k not £107k per that chart

Lammy is on £800k

Rayner is on £450k

Sunak is on £658k

May is on £3.5m

And everyone’s favourite Corbyn is on £750k

Not a bad gig if you can get it is it?

I assume a lot of the £750k was legal fees.

I didn't understand what Vic meant, no.

But for you to suggest Johnson, Truss and May all took more than £107k in gifts over the past 5 years is an interesting accusation. Is there any evidence for that or have you just made it up?

 

[Brewster's millions]

Some of the leading Tories were criticised for breaking the rules. Which rules have the Labour front bench broken?

Starmer has broken the rules on declaring income & donations on a number of occasions.

Late declaration, incorrect declaration and most recently failing to declare the gifts to his wife. If you look at the rules around these, they appear easy to follow, and I would have expected the former head of the CPS to be able to comply with these in an appropriate and timely manner.

Have you just created that graphic? If so, it is (deliberately?) misleading.

The title says gifts, but the vast majority of that £6.4m was earnings, not gifts.

Yep something like 90% legal fees mostly in small donations from your average Joe. Not millionaires looking for something in return.

How much did Boris receive for the flat renovation?

The figure of £60,000 seems low when the cost of renovation was quoted at 200K.

Doesn't the frivolous spending on a temporary residence alarm you at all?

There was plenty more to go in the pot.

Distant cousin of Boris Johnson acted as credit guarantor while in No 10

Sam Blyth was guarantor of credit facility of up to £800,000 that helped fund Johnson’s lifestyle, it has emerged

Could well be, would make sense. I didn’t look in to it I just put his name in the Westminster accounts as an interesting comparison. I’ve always thought him principled.
