There is no suggestion of a quid pro quo. Lord Ali is not a third party bidding for a contract. There is no advantage to him doing this.

It also emerged that the former Asos chairman was given a “temporary pass” granting access to Downing Street after the election
Why was one of Lord Alli's business associates granted a pass?

Can someone explain to me the corruption argument? A Labour Peer and Labour Member offers Labour leadership help, which they accept, and which Labour declares, according to the rules. There is no suggestion of a quid pro quo. Lord Ali is not a third party bidding for a contract. There is no advantage to him doing this. He's already a peer. There's no hiding of the help. There is no pretending to lose phones. Where's the corruption?
If you wanted to say 'this is a shitty look for a person taking winter fuel payments and bad politics' then I'll agree with you 100%. But bad politics and corruption are different things and if you want to call something corruption you need to provide your evidence.
