Here , here.it's been a long long time since there was any altruism amongst the top echelons of any political party of influence. A long long time.

What these stupid media don't take into account is the fact that his son will now probably have to put up with bullying and 'teasing' about having gone to another house during the election.
Whatever you think of his father putting the child under pressure is not on. Teenagers are vulnerable at the best of times as we keep reading and hearing so lay off the children. JMHO
Not accepting gifts.What was more damaging for him though? That he broke the law or that he was having a birthday party whilst folk couldn’t visit those dying in hospitals or care homes or attend their funerals.
People tend to react to emotions with politics (ie the optics) not the substance. If you think the headlines from the WFA is bad now, you wait for the first person to die yet the substance of the policy is unchanged.
In this instance because private school kids are a group and not singled out one by one. Starmer's son is singled out. Surely you can see the difference?Extrapolate that out, adding VAT to private school fees, kids that end up in state school getting bullied and teased or being denied the freedom of choice that Starmer’s kid was gifted.
Private school kids won’t get any sympathy, so I put it to the defence why should Starmer’s?
Yeah, maybe, but they’re not something that is going to oust Starmer.Agreed. Partygate is not comparable to this
These gifts though, like second jobs that MPs take, need stamping out.
Not accepting gifts.
People are losing their minds over declared donations.
Starmer is just letting it run its course and it’ll die a death as they’re non-stories, however much anyone wants them to be anything else.
Okay, even if that’s true, it doesn’t change anything.Starmer isn’t letting it run its course he’s feeding the bloody story. He’s not good at politics.
I obviously wasn't clear my bad, not comparing the "offences" just that once the media get hold of something you need to deal with it.party gate during lockdown was wrong, illegal and f*ckin disgusting!
Kier Starmer getting a free pair of glasses and a ticket to Taylor Swift doesn't even compare.

removing WFA for pensionersYou missed the long list they’ve already achieved in a couple months then ?
