      It’s all so cack handed and low rent.

      “Adults” back in charge?

      They are giving the impression they are just a bunch of greedy amateurs.

      If Keir wants to have any legitimacy he will introduce measures prohibiting these kinds of donations immediately.

      For all their talk about sleaze in the Tories and putting country before themselves and party, they’re not walking the walk so far.

      Politicians eh? Same old bullshit, snouts in the trough. Wankers.

    6. DeathDestroyerWorlds on

      So then, Police, Armed Forces the Civil Service can’t except brib…. Erm Donations but politicians can.

      This should be banned across the board. They get a good wage one of the most generous expenses system in the world ever and they still need donations! Greedy rats the lot of them.

      And now the country slowly starts to see that Labour are not, in fact, any better than the Tories.

      I’m so sick of this circus. The media included. I want something else. This media fuelled panto needs fixing.

      Casual Fridays at the labour offices so its legit business expense to get dolled up for free.

      When my parents applied for permission to demolish/rebuild a garage on their property they were so pleased with the speed at which the planning team dealt with their case that they bought them two trays of Thornton’s chocolates as a means of thanking them. They would only accept one tray, as two would have exceeded the council’s £20 cap on gifts and hospitality. Nice to know that at least those on the lowest rungs of government have some integrity, I guess.

      “But but the adults are back in charge!!! They’re not all the same!!! This is grown up politics!! It’s so nice to have a boring PM!!”

      Yeah, sorry but no, Labour are not the adults, they are the same as the Tories, and Starmer being boring getting on with the job would be nice but he’s a doom monger.

      The only thing we changed folks was the colour of the tie from blue to red.

      Yo, where we normals go to get clothing donations? my full outfit is £23

      My underwear is older than the people on here

      Perhaps mandatory bribery and corruption training for politicians… You know like everyone in the corporate world does…. Lest we receive a pen from a supplier….

    14. Low-Educator6026 on

      I dislike Labour more and more every day. Honestly they have hardly got started, it’s not hard to be in office. Turn down free shit, try to look after people and avoid being a self serving person.

    15. RedofPaw on

      I get it. It doesn’t seem like much. They need nice suits to look professional. And going to events? It keeps them in touch with culture and the public.

      Is what seems like a reasonable justification.

      Except when other government workers have a strict limit on gifts. Because if they could just take gifts it would be like bribery.

      Maybe… Thousands of pounds to MPs and front benchers is also a risk of bribery. Maybe we should put strict limits on it also.

    16. LowOilPressure on

      And here we are full circle. The media getting everyone worked up and outraged again by silly things

    17. p3opl3 on

      The price of a politician.. is a fucking Jaegar jacket you can now buy at M&S.. seriously.. we’re finished..

    18. AuContraireRodders on

      Yeah, they’ll stop PERSONALLY receiving gifts but I bet their bribers will just gift to their families instead to get around it.

      The only thing you can count on a politician for is to be on the take to somebody.

    19. RockTheBloat on

      I couldn’t give af. There seems to be as much press about a few items of clothing as funnelling billions of public money to mates under the last lot.

    20. Pale-Dragonfruit3577 on

      In America corporate lobbying by pharma, tech and corporate interests costs tens of billions. UK all that is needed is a new look blouse.

    21. TuffGnarl on

      It’s enormously disappointing they ran on being different to the last shower of shit, and yet, straight away- here we are.

      Such an unnecessary own goal because they immediately started grasping like the rest of them.

    22. Staar-69 on

      Why do British politicians need so much clothing? I’ve seen Rayner in that red dress 100 times already. I’m sure all the “clothing allowances” is just code for cash or something.

    23. Equal-Cauliflower-41 on

      Yet Rishi gets no flack for not acknowledging donations from peers as they were “personal gifts”

    24. Elsa87 on

      Is anyone surprised that they are as greedy and unethical as the Tories were?

    25. bluecheese2040 on

      They are all the same….grifters. the tories do it ‘better’ and enrich themselves…Labour are showing that they have something left to learn yet.

    26. welsh_cthulhu on

      If anyone thought that Angela Rayner herself actually believes anything she’s said over the past 5 years, I’ve got some magic beans to sell you.

    27. Mr_lovebucket on

      I naively thought that as one of the main reasons the conservatives lost the election was cronyism, Labour would have more sense.
