      Most Britons are thick as shit and voted for 14 years of clown show and then Brexit. If people could read past headlines and critically think this place would be so much better.

      I think the Labour government lacks media management skills more than anything else. They keep getting caught with their pants bought for them.

      Change the record. All sleaze is bad but this is a speck of a drop in the ocean compared to the tories banana republic levels of corruption during covid.

    6. GTDJB on

      Some of the stuff being thrown around in recent weeks has been bollocks, but some of it is genuinely concerning and very sleazy.

      Edit: Just look at the Carbon Capture investment announced this weekend after a lot of lobbying from the fossil fuel industry… sleazy.

      And yet they voted Tory for 14 years. Who took “Sleazy” to a whole other levels. So…. frankly…. why would anyone take the opnion of “most Britons” with anything but a bucket of salt.

      Just remember that this sleaze isn’t anything new. It’s culturally embedded in the MPs and has been for a considerable time. Yet the media have been utterly, utterly silent about it for the last 14 years.

      This isn’t me defending what has been happening. I think it was disgraceful when the Tories were doing it and it’s still disgraceful now. But the faux outrage of a media that were complicit in their silence while the Tories were in power is telling.

      Some of the freebie/gift stuff has been massively overblown considering it was all on public record and not undeclared, however it’s shown a lack of foresight and political savvy. 

      Were people surprised politicians and well known public figures occasionally get hospitality and various perks? There’s not a politician around that doesn’t get invited to free lunches, gigs or get put up in hotels on business.  

      It was hardly £700k of personal loans or billions in backdoor COVID contracts to donors and their mates.  

      The problem is the optics have been terrible and their media management/PR has been amateur. Leaving policies like Winter Fuel allowance thrown out alone to linger like a bad smell for weeks without explaining any of it properly in conjunction with the gift furore was a perfect storm for a media frenzy.

      Labour could take the lead on addressing the sleaze issue. They could pass a bill to put MPs and Lords on the same ethics, gifts and corruption rules as the civil service and other public servants.

      Why might they not do that? – unless they are indeed as sleazy as the previous n administrations

    13. knitscones on

      Why?

      When compared to just one CONservtive, Johnson, they haven’t broken any rules!

    14. No_Breadfruit_4901 on

      Labour needs to improve their media management because all people think of labour currently is the “nasty party that cut winter fuel allowance.”

    15. Scooby359 on

      I’m just kinda disappointed. All the talk of “change”, yet three months in and nothing seems to have changed.

    16. ferrel_hadley on

      People wont remember the tickets and clothes in 3 months time. If these continue coming, the impression will stick, if this is just a turbulent start to their term it will fade. New Labour had the Eccelston £1 million donation within months of assuming office.

      The government will be judged on 3 issues:

      Can they get the economy growing.

      Can they get immigration down.

      Can they get house building increasing.

      Its going to be 2-3 years before those issues become clearer. In the mean time these sort of second or third order issues will generate news and interest promoted by their enemies on the right and the hard left.

      Three years of 2.5% growth and no one will remember these stories the way no one remembered Eccleston after New Labour bedded in and got with delivery. People remember the Tory sleaze because they failed at the big issues. Low 1%ish growth and that will be the big stick everyone will beat Labour with.

    17. UCthrowaway78404 on

      Starmer got less votes than corbyn. But won because zionists funded the creation of reform to split right wing votes to get their poster child in power.

    18. Fred_Blogs on

      Well yes, Labour are sleazy and have been accepting bribes. As did the Conservatives before them.

      The fundamental problem is that we have a deeply corrupt political establishment, which doesn’t have to listen to the voters. Which is why people are giving up and no longer turning out to vote.

    19. reddit-suave613 on

      You’re telling me the party that takes any ~~bribe~~ gift it is handed is sleazy? The party that has a Jeffery Epstein associate as a major advisor? Shocking!

    20. Bonodog1960 on

      All our politicians since the early nineties have had there noses in the trough with a very few exceptions

    21. KeyLog256 on

      No matter what “side” you’re on, I think this whole story and this stat shows just how controlling the mainstream media is for your average person. 

      To think that they’ve done the odd slightly questionable thing (and took action to try and right it) and people suddenly forget the past several years and what that lot did on a near daily basis and largely got away with it.

    22. hulloumi on

      Miss Boris and Co do you? Labour isn’t sleazy compared the previous gov in the slightest.

    23. terrordactyl1971 on

      Taking bribes is very sleazy, how could you think otherwise? Companies and private people only give free gifts because they expect people in power to return the favour. This is obvious, otherwise why arent they giving free gifts to the poor, instead of Prime Ministers? It’s clearly a bribe. Honestly, I have lost the trust I had in them.

    24. illbeinthestatichome on

      So the decade of total sleaze and corruption we’ve just had and they’re having a go at the new guys? wow

    25. Ryy86 on

      Atleast! That is also being polite.

      Crown has to dissolve parliament.

      To have the country run by someone who cannot be “bought or corrupted” by the corporations and controlled. What has happened, and what has been far more apparent in the last 2 decades.

      We have been betrayed by every party we have voted into power, the members easily corrupted by greed or maybe other notorious or horrible things, offered and promised by the nameless actors in the shadows pulling strings..

      I cannot say the current King couldn’t or could be corrupted however, nor can I speak for his next in line.. but hope is atleast given to me by the service our beloved late Queen provided us her entire life, and I recon I could safely put my life on saying a strong person like her would not be corrupted by evil to betray her beautiful homeland, and her future generations of family to live after her..

      That’s who we need to lead the country, a strong, faithful, patriotic leader with firm roots in this land.. I just hope to God atleast a trickle of that DNA is in William and in future George

    26. ElvishMystical on

      Bit rich coming from an electorate which is mainly weak minded, servile, laps up any old shit the right wing media throws out there, and who voted for a kakistocracy four times on the spin.

      That’s even before we mention Brexit.

      Thinking that you’re going to get something out of a government is no different from thinking that a stripper really fancies you.

    27. Altruistic_You6460 on

      This is a social media smear campaign. Less than 6 months in and the machine has started to undermine our government.

    28. vexatiousmonkey on

      I’d be willing to bet most britons weren’t asked the question.

      The whole thing is an echo-chamber for the disgruntled.

    30. BriefTele on

      Sufficient Britons have been voting for sleazy long enough to make it the only game in town.

      Starmer gleefully proclaims he’s changed the party to make it electable and he’s right, he’s turned the Labour Party into the same shower of rabble as the last lot. 

       As for that red-tory guardian rag, it has supported this plan B clown and his circus all along. You never hear the last of it when the gruan gets something right, which is why you don’t hear much about it at all.  

      Everything that is wrong is being used to normalise and excuse everything that is wrong. Globally. It’s the new normal.

    31. throwawaysis000 on

      Most Britons are fucking stupid.

      Don’t get me wrong Labour have been pretty stupid themselves recently but it’s hardly partying it up whilst people can’t visit their dying loved ones is it?

    32. BriefTele on

      A YouGov poll lol. 

       That’ll be same YouGov co-founded by renowned tory whataboutery buzzard Nadhim Zahawi folks. The very same. 

      Surely more pertinent poll would be to ask Britons how many of them think the previous party in government were corrupt enough to be declared criminally unfit for office and banned from ever running for govt again?
