I’d agree with that.
And with all the Tory MPs coming out and saying how great she is, perhaps she could stand for them?
Or stand as an independent as she’ll get the Tory vote? |

That’s pretty much my issue.
It’s not that one person’s donations is worse or not (although I stand by the flat story being ridiculous), it’s that difference in coverage.
Why is this an issue now? |

6 million quid. Latimer in freebies since 2010 yet not really a word till now.
Says a lot about our printed press IMO. |

I read the synopsis and couldn't bring myself to watch it.
I'll give it a go on the weekend when I'm a bit more awake and can do it justice. |

There’s confusion between donations, freebies and expenses.
Some are more dodgy than others but they are separate things.
I’ve banged this drum a few times, but we should pay them more then ban the other stuff. |

Didn’t help in 2019 when Boris was PM, accepting almost a million pounds in freebies so I don’t see why it would work now. |

I agree with practically all that guardian report.
Really well balanced. |

It's been 3 months.
I'll make my opinion in a couple of years.
Which of the peerages do you think are unwarrented? |

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)? |

Who had been negativly affected?
Who has had an unreasonably benefit?
As I said, there are loads of these things to be critical of but not this one IMO |

But nobody actually paid is my point.
It's not like Alli is running an air b and b.
It didn't cost any one anything. |

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. |

I'm talking specifically about the flat issue.
What was wrong with it? |

Only just read up properly on the GCSE accommodation thing.
What a complete non-story.
There’s plenty of things to be critical of Starmer and the new Labour govenrnment for, this isn’t one enough. |

I went through a phase of saving to go to a posh restaurant as a treat and really enjoyed it.
However if I could only choose one food to live on for the rest of my life it would be a toasted bacon sandwich! |
