The Labour Government

Conveniently timed so it didn't have to be declared pre election .... something Keith has form for.


“During his bid to become leader of the Labour Party, Starmer refused to contemporaneously publish details of who had donated to his leadership campaign. His rivals, Rebecca Long-Bailey and Lisa Nandy, agreed to share details of their donors in real-time, which they published. Starmer, however, decided only to declare his donations via his MP's register of interests, which created a significant lag between when Starmer accepted his donations and when they were made public.

“Labour members, as a result, had no idea at the time of voting that Starmer had been funded with large donations from the likes of wealthy millionaires like Martin Taylor and Sir Trevor Chinn and Baron Waheed Ali; the latter now at the centre of the furore about Starmer's acceptance of gratuities.”

Labour handed £4m from tax haven-based hedge fund

Quadrature’s donation is noteworthy not just for being Labour’s largest-ever, but for its timing ahead of election

More on Lord Ali

Nothing to see here mate.

Starmer isn’t as bad as Johnson so can’t be criticised and Lord Alli is just an altruistic chap and these were the best people for the job.

"They'll be no return to Austerity."

Bullshit. Prove me wrong at the budget Robot and I'll put my hands up.

Reeves might as well have Leonard Cohen playing behind her to make her speech less depressing.

Doubling down on austerity and expecting us to pay for the Tories spending rather than taxing the cunts that's profited from our national traumas of Brexit and COVID.

Well TBF she has just said they going after covid corruption so least that’s still a commitment and not quietly forgotten after the election. I hope they succeed on this and if any Tory is guilty of corruption they should do time.

Agreed.

She did sound like a dalek at one point but I think the content of her speech has been quite refreshing. Especially the COVID bit and the focus on tax evasion/avoidance.

She is racing through her speech. Forgetting to pause for the applause breaks.

She’s said quite a bit but I liked plenty of it. Devil in detail so let’s see if plan matches the words but it’s quite encouraging.

She's got 5 years to show me she's going to do the job. If she proves me wrong I'll put my hands up.

#401 Error in her code mate. That’ll be fixed by the budget.
