She probably gained £400 worth of tickets but the Party will more than pay for it in the upcoming by-elections.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
Does anyone actually care if they get freebies or not? Celebs get them but I don't hear anyone moaning about it!

Celebs don't take pensioners winter fuel allowance off them and make them pay income tax at such a hideously low threshold

Celebs are given them in return for promoting the products and firms. They DO get into trouble if they don't declare that.

In her position of power, there's potential for conflicts of interest and being accused of being bought off.

They might be inclined to give those companies favourable treatment if they're getting stuff for free.
Practice should be banned. I would also ban civil servants and politicians from taking jobs in private companies with which they may have a conflict of interest for a set number of years.

Exactly and I agree. When I worked for Local Government we were forbidden from accepting gifts as it was said it could be viewed as bribery.
People are wondering if the Tories will want a new leader, but, after last night, I wonder if this will also apply to the Labour Party??

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
If you read this thread back for 2025, you'll notice that there's very little said about Starmer by the known left leaning forum members.
Such people have mainly commented on Farage and the Tories rather than defending Labour.
This tells me that they are not impressed by Starmer but are too embarrassed to say so.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
Or are giving him time on parity with how long the Tories were in power for.

I refer the Honourable Gentleman to the formal fallacy known as "denying the antecedent"…
