to believe Lady Starmer should pay for her own clothes and personal stylists?

And Keir Starmer should have paid himself for his 'several pairs of glasses' and £19K worth of work clothes? On top of that there was £20K for accommodation for Sir Keir and another 'similar sum' on 'private office' costs.

Purely by coincidence, it seems the donor was given a Downing Street security pass allowing easy access to the corridors of power without any role in government.

And yes, Carrie and Boris Johnson should have paid for their wallpaper and hampers too, that is just as sleazy.

I’m already paying £310 and have been 300 plus for years - Scotland has it bad!

The irony. Starmer is clearly a major sleaze too.

His wife could have said no thanks. Surely she can pick out and pay for her clothing?

I didn’t know Farage had promised this. I don’t think people on £20k or under should pay tax. I’d be willing to pay more so those on so little have a better life.

Yep

What's Lord Alli getting out of this this?

If you add their take home pay to their paid expenses, housing, utility, whatever allowance, then it's a handsome amount. They're essentially being given 'pocket money' while everything else is paid for. They're paid more than enough considering how the people they're "serving" are doing.

A little bit of light relief from Intel Lady.

For a PM and his spouse to accept money for clothes etc from a wealthy donor is to appear greedy and bereft of political intelligence. It looks awful and doesn't pass the smell test. It's pathetic. Buy your suits from M&S but have some dignity for heavens sake.

Politically, my opinions are well to the right of Angela Rayner, but I can applaud her determination to climb to success in life. I still don't agree with her opinions. But I absolutely respect her achievements.

And therein lies the corruption…. He’s clearly expecting something….

Yes they were quick enough to have a go at Boris so people in glass houses should not throw stones.

Ours is over £300 - not in Scotland and a LibDem council.

They were inciting violence - which is a criminal offence. Here’s one.

mass deportation now, set fire to all the f hotels full of the bas*** for all I care... If that makes me racist, so be it.

Well how come they can accept that but civil service admin can't accept a couple of bottles of wine and a few chocolates at Christmas then?

Well maybe, as in it’s a possibility he’s a lifelong Labour supporter doing all he can to ensure the party he supports won the election. He used to own The Octonauts. And ASOS, which could explain his interest in clothes.

Entirely unlike Tory donors then. 🙄

Perhaps.

He did declare the donation, but declared it late. The Times article said that Starmers wife has turned down all offers from top designers for free clothes, jewellery and cosmetics. The dresses she wore election week sold out in days.

”The dresses she wore election week sold out in days.” Do you think this justifies taking freebies (what would be considered bribes in the corporate world)? This Government is cutting fuel subsidies to pensioners and imposing VAT on private education. Yet they take clothing and other non essential items from donors. It’s not justifiable.

Late as in Starmer having a go at Johnson for missing the deadline?

Some clip online of him talking about how serious that is

Johnson didn't declare the donation for the wallpaper. The Tory Party got fined by the Electoral Commission over it and his ethics advisor resigned.

And what does late mean for Starmer?

It means that he won't be investigated for declaring a few weeks late.

No, you are wrong. People have not been jailed for posting about their opinions about the level of immigration from Muslim countries. They have been jailed for calling for riots and murder. Reports are easily accessible on the internet about what those who got jail sentences for incitement said. 'Blow the mosque up with the adults in it'; 'Riot in Huddersfield. Meet at the train station at 1pm. It's not going to be peaceful'; 'Every man his dog should be smashing f--- out of the hotel'; 'Set fire to all the f-king hotels full of the b*stards.' These are calls for violence.
