It seems many people see corruption as part of the game and ‘getting things done’
Yep, I think there is unfortunately a significant element of truth to this. The pursuit of power has been valorised to the extent that actions such as this appear as displays of strong leadership. It's hard not to feel as though the Tories are going through a process of Orbanisation now—there is literally nothing standing in their way.
I'm glad Starmer has finally started to use the word 'corruption' but as others have stated I doubt it will stick, not least because his hands aren't exactly clean—remember when he refused to name his campaign donors?

I think this has been tabled before. But incompetence>corruption.
It seems many people see corruption as part of the game and ‘getting things done’. Needs to be tied to personal losses in the electorate to stick.
When is Labour going to hire he-who-shall-not-be-named?
