It's also possible to worry about number of things at once. And actually the integrity and honesty of those leading is is quite important.

There are lots more things that are important Maybee70.

It would be great if Starmer didn’t do things he has previously condemned, so that the focus would be on those more important things.

The determination to defend Starmer et al can do anything wrong is childish and pathetic
Why not just acknowledge that the LP MPs do what they said was wrong when the other party did it?

I just happen to think that there are far more important things to be worrying about. The state of our maternity hospitals for a start. And our prisons.

yes Starmer was late declaring his freebies, but quick off the mark stopping wfp.

So interesting point - Mrs Sunak paid £20 million to stay here and relinquished her non dom status- quite an expensive misjudgment even if she could easily have afforded it. Quite a difference with the latest bunch …..

No, Sunak's wife wan't given cruel nicknames or openly criticised (she was privately) and I think I know why but I am not putting it in print.

This name-calling is so childish and pathetic.

I don’t remember Sunak’s wife being called cruel names when she avoided paying almost £20 million in taxes!

Apparently KS wife Victoria has a nickname now,
“Victoria Sponger”.

Along with his new nickname - Free Gear Keir

It is the rank hypocrisy that shocks. Five years of Labour denigrating the Tories for everything they did, but immediately the prospect of power is in their sights, quickly revealing themselves to be just as venal.
Waheed Alli seems to exert a sinister amount of influence, (as well as indulging Rayner's execrable taste.)
Apparently Diane Abbott has announced she will oppose Starmer on key issues. Obviously she hasn't been bought any new frocks.

To be honest I so wanted him to win that I would have sent him a pressie if I thought he wanted one 😂.

So would I, before the last 6 weeks.

This story rumbles along. It’s tarnished his reputation.

😄I saw a joke in the paper that was a woman holding a baggy suit on a hanger saying to hubby ‘ do you still use this old suit? Am getting a bag of clothes together to send to Downing St.’

He needs to get out the Duraglit and shine up his halo again.

Angela Rayner declares acceptance of freebies, doesn’t make it right when she made numerous statements in and out of the H of P ridiculing Conservative MP’s for accepting freebies.

eggplant if KS and his fellow MPs hadn’t been so busy pulling up the last Government on their freebies then they would not be under so much scrutiny for their freebies

No red herrings, just 21st C politics.

Yes but that’s what makes it so interesting. Saying one group were in the wrong for doing something more often than another group doing the same thing has never made it right for the second group before.

Now it appears that wrong-doing on a smaller scale is acceptable.
Who knew?

Grantanow Lammy seems all over the place - I would prefer him to stick to his job spec.

Lammy today seems to have migrated from clothes to climate change: a better choice.

Really, I can't be bothered any more. Take a look at the latest from the Middle East.

Would that be Hezbollah and exploding pagers?

The whole clothes thing is just a massive red herring. God help us really. Lammy and KS have more to worry about ( as do the rest of us).

What is to be gained by this snipeing and belittleing and one up man ship?

I don't know anything about the wife of KS. She keeps herself and her family under the radar, somehow.

Fried Green tomatoes, what Starmer was gifted is trivial compared with past gifts/governement in the Johnson era and also the habit of bennies for friends on contracts awarded etc.

We now have moved on politically and say, for th first time historically "no, it was wrong in principle", those supporting the Labour Party in GN have said so: beating a tired drum.
