Starmer shouldn't accept any of this free stuff. Anyone who has followed politics for the past 40 years or so must realise that the right wing press will crucify any Labour politician who steps even marginally out of line. Double standards are the norm and no tory politician would face any grief over something like this. How did Starmer not understand this? He seems baffled that people are pissed off about this and just how bad it looks. Perhaps some spad could suggest that he is a bit more circumspect in future?
