Call a General Election? Really?

[Veryoldandtired]

I mean, I very much doubt this will get anywhere in the parliament but nearly 2 mil people signed it in just over 24 hours 😬

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700143

There's a world of morons out there. They'd be screaming blue murder about waste if Starmer said ' oh alright then folks , let's spin the wheel again '.

Remember when the Internet was going to save democracy?

Thanks that’s interesting!

Idiots. Thats not how it works

@itsgettingweird I've put info about the data,you've got it wrong there. No point spreading misinformation in your pp

as for 'fighting against Labour'

I didn't realise mn meant you had to be 'pro Labour'. I'm not surprised at how badly they're doing though.

You keep pushing for them I care not either

I want my winter fuel allowance back. I didn't vote Labour for that. I voted labour to be rid of my local Tory MP.

I like Daisy Cooper. I would vote Lib Dem if we get another election.

Yes.. I'm not sure the point you're making.

People have had a rude awakening finding out how the tories have been asset-stripping the country.

Now they want to pin the blame on the new government that have exposed all the lies the tories and their media dogs have been gaslighting them with for decades about "trickle down" and "we're all in it together" economic hogwash -on top of ideological austerity in lieu of infrastructural investment - instead of looking past the ends of their noses and pointing the finger at those responsible.

Know what democracy's biggest enemy is? Gullibility.

There wasn't an extra £12,500 worth of food for the wedding - you are mistaken.

Maybe the Daily Mail would work better for you:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11193533/Boris-Johnson-gets-Tory-donor-pay-23-000-wedding-celebration.html

But the JCB chairman did not only provide the venue. The register of MPs' financial interests revealed today that Lord and Lady Bamford picked up the £23,000 cost of the lavish celebration.

MP's don't have to declare the use of grounds and property of private individuals, so it was understandable why he didn't declare it. Labour chose to declare the use of grounds and property, which Starmer was vilified for (use of flat during the election period / GCSE exam period), which is why this was highlighted.

This guy is being praised by Musk for supporting this petition

So at least a £40k wedding then 🙄

Yes, I realise my confusion there. The £12.5k was food delivered to Boris & Carrie during lockdown.

He sounds nice - and not at all a dyed in the wool antisemite being supported by Musk

I believe the Johnsons paid cost price for the food so the benefit was less than £12,500.

In any case, Starmer received well over £100,000 in hospitality and gifts when he claimed to have 'nothing in common with Boris Johnson'.

I am talking about ONE instance. It was also followed by a free suite at a Heathrow hotel the night before their honeymoon for £1800 but I didn't include that. And this wasn't "hospitality", this was someone paying for his entire wedding. Someone who's son also got a £12.7m Government contract.

Can you screenshot the praise - your images are from 2016. Presumably 'Peter Sweden' hasn't signed the petition - he appears to be a Swedish journalist not based in the UK.

Bloody hell, that's a grim list of tweets.

Are we not counting Starmer's free luxury flat accommodation, designer clothes and glasses then?

Sure

If you sign the petition, this is the kind of people who are encouraging you to do so

I think the problem is the tories being corrupt isn’t a defence for labour to do the same

if anything it’s worse as we’ve had years of them being outraged and banging on
turns out there all cut from the same cloth every week there’s seedy revelations coming out

There is no corruption when it is all declared

This. 👏🏽

He sounds nice doesn't he? Also he is perfectly sane and rational. Surely Mr Trump could find a role for him.

Hence my comment about not having to actually declare use of a flat.

Can I ask how that differs from Boris' clothes, wallpaper, furniture, housing etc? That is all. I understand that ALL mp's are going to make use of their donors money, but people all up in arms about Starmer using a flat during his childs GCSE's / during the election period seem to have very short memories.

Which bit shows Musk praising 'Peter Sweden' for supporting the petition?

If you sign the petition, this is the kind of people who are encouraging you to do so

The guy is Swedish - thank goodness we left the EU!
