Starmer! Wow! on 17:19 - Sep 25 by onehunglow

We have a modest but comfortable home
Both mine got the 12 GCSEs with Ax
Both studied when they went to their bedrooms
We were a busy household and they had to stay quiet when Zi was on nights ,for example .
This is the single most brazen piece of garbage I’ve seen in ages
His defence… the public weren’t affected
So that’s ok then

Whoever is provided Granny Ange with her clothes is clearly having a bit of fun.
Rarely have we seen such a badly dressed minister
At least Rach has clothes that fit


Well this lot are on par with the Tories when it comes to intelligence insulting excuses, lack of self awareness and hypocrisy. About as brazen as you can get!

I thought the Tories "It was a works event" was scrapping the barell, enter Starmer and his gang who have not offered anything better, and are just a continuation of what has gone before.

Staggering to contemplate that this is all happening so thick and fast into a new goverments tenure.

"New beginning and dawn of a new era"...... NOT!!!!

I'm just amazed that anyone actually thought that they would be any different. I have posted my thoughts on all politicians often enough, they are all in it for what they can get, it starts at the bottom and escalates the higher they go. That as they say, is a fact.

Somehow got through my O levels studies in a back bedroom in our family Council House .
A levels were a bridge to far though , not clever enough and time to get a job , easy then .

Starmer moans journalists and press parked on his doorstep , mush it goes with the role .

Simple answer hire some crowd control officials , then they can move them on quoting trespass and public order as a potential issue , he is a lawyer , he will know the rules and have the money to pay for that course of action .

Lord Ali his bestie funded it , Starmer said not the taxpayer , so thats ok then .

Two Tier Kier thinks it is fine to have a quiet place for his son to learn and sod the rest .

Party of the People , what a joke this lot are .

I'm no fan of this current situation but maintain it's not as bad as anything along a similar vain undertaken by the last lot. Two wrongs don't make a right.

This aspect of Lord Alli's involvement is interesting. "Free" press Indeed.

Certainly isn’t a non story. For a so called “Government of service” to be seen to be lavished with gifts to the tune of hundreds of thousands of pounds going to concerts, getting free clothes, going away for dirty weekends in luxury apartments whilst they are simultaneously telling the country things are going to be really bad you all need to tighten your belts is a really really bad look. They are all millionaires on massive salaries. They can afford all these things themselves. They are not vital for their role.

Also the elephant in the room is what does Lord Alli want in return? It could easily be construed as a bribe or a way to gain prestigious influence.

It certainly isn’t a non story.

All elected officials should have to abide by the same terms and conditions of employment as the civil service. No gifts should be accepted.

What Lord Alli has donated isn't extraordinary. That doesn't make it right.

There is a new twist in the Times today about the penthouse flat. It seems that Sir Keir used it for the occasional broadcast, including during COVID. The strange thing is that the video made that day contains family photographs etc in the background that make the flat seem like home. No rules appear to have been broken, though COVID guidance at that time was to remain at home when possible. However, the journalists seem to want to keep digging on this, perhaps sensing a bigger story. The news report today of the 37 prisoners released in error did not help counter the narrative that the new government is making too many "rookie mistakes" (quote from Times Radio).

Difference is Tories do not use “ working people,ordinary people,workers,those in poverty” for their own political ends .
Tories are invariably supine or insouciant when it comes to those at the bottom of the fiscal scale and all too often ignore the plight of the majority of folk who work hard and get on with it

Why is that a problem?

The 20k figure is arbitrary as a cost has to be attached for all gifts.

To me (as things stand) Lord Alli gave use of a room, at no cost to anyone to Starmer and for no benefit.

If that changes and we find that Alli was given a government contract or anything like that, I'll be all over it.

For now, a non-story made for click bait.

The £450 an a night quoted is far less than a smaller flat in the area goes for, so are the figures accurate.

There's a moral question too

She seems not on the least traumatised by it and is grabbing what she can , when she can
Just like the rest of them

The perception that the electorate has for these freeloading ministers has certainly been negatively affected. Especially considering they stood on an election promise to change the behaviour in politics, create a government of service etc.

I would also suggest that free vip hospitality at concerts, football matches and jollies to New York with a boyfriend are unreasonable benefits.

I wonder if there was an election today, how many who voted Labour last time would vote Labour again, from the comments I hear in every day life not many.

Perception is just that. It's changable and opinion based.

As for the football and concerts, provinding there's nothing given in return I'd rather they be freebies than massive taxpayer funded security operations.

Comparing to the Tories (atm) is a false equivalence. What has Starmer done that's as bad a Covid fast lane (a la Michelle Mone), or a dubious peerage (Evgeny Alexandrovich)?
