Another grifter in charge of the country!

https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk...isit-450-gift/

Sorry about the ad's, my local rag takes inspiration for ioi in Ready Player One for "how many ad's can we serve before giving brain damage to users" and said "hold my beer, we can show more".

£450 rugby tickets for free, add that to the £13k he has accepted in "gifts".

"This is according to newly released transparency files, which also show that he accepted more than £13,000 worth of freebies in the 13 months from June 2025 to July 2026."


So another PM that can be bought for a packet of crisps and some free tickets!

It’s all here in the Members Register of Interests (without ads) - probably where the Warrington Guardian got the info from…

In other words, he declared everything correctly.

Unlike some others who couldn’t be bothered with a bit of paperwork.

£458 of tickets for a Cricket match as well as a few others, nice I guess, but hardly earth shattering.

A few free tickets to sports events, or £5M from a dodgy overseas crypto billionaire. Which would you prefer?

There's degrees of separation, what will who ever expect in return for less than £500 worth of cricket tickets and what will the crypto billionaire expect on return for £5 million quid, we saw how well the roi was for Musk. I'd only prefer neither so people can't try and excuse the very worst indulgencies with claims that they're all at it when they're patently not, in fact they're so far from each other they're not even playing the same sport, cricket or not

Ah, yes - you will have some to hand after you used the £250k you were given from the Bullion company to buy some crypto from a company run by the guy who runs the Bullion company.


However, in answer to your question, no...

Its been happening for decades despite lip service promises from politicians to reform the system.
