That Starmer fella...

I’m sure Keir is super happy this is the news right now, he’s not had to say a single thing about Israels latest war crimes which seems to be what he most wants to avoid.

Meanwhile, they're refusing a press pass to the conference for a journalist who did a story on pro-Israel lobby groups, and their influence on Labour

Why doesn't he just buy Starmer a nice tie?

Why can’t MPs and their wives just buy their own clothes.

I googled (well Duck Duck Goed) John McEvoy, the "journalist" who was barred.

Every hit on the first page of results was this story, nothing that he'd actually written.

I guess we know who the real journalist is.

Why can’t MPs and their wives just buy their own clothes.

The adults in charge need their pocket money.

I think this is where I see the difference between doing up a flat.

But ultimately once you're in power then you're not really paying for much other stuff any more are you? So I think it's just a cost of the job.

Can we sleep soundly tonight?

If you need more money to do the job, then increase the salary.

Have they learned nothing from the expenses scandal? This stuff needs to be transparent. Accepting 'gifts' is, at best, very stupid. There's no way this would be allowed in a normal business context.

Some are more equal than others..

I hope that Labour sort all these issues out soon. They have a huge task in turning the country round and making peoples' lives better. But what a piss poor start! Taking loads of freebies and then ending the WFA. Is there no one in the govt capable of any critical thinking?

seriously feel like we’re just in the foothills of this stuff

Speaking of clothing allowances, I have realised that I have left my only suit at the dry cleaners and I have a 7.30 am train to Liverpool for the Labour party conference tomorrow.

Go smart casual

Ask Keir to take one of his spare suits to lend you.

Unless he’s shrunk significantly since I last saw him, I don’t think @t-v has any chance of fitting into one of Starmer’s suits.

Here you go

Amazing they keep fucking up this badly so early into power.

Andy Burnham must be getting excited.

Nigel Farage is the only beneficiary of this in the long term.
