Keir Starmer accepted £76,000 of freebies including tickets to over 20 football games (ft.com)

Sir Keir Starmer accepted £76,000 worth of entertainment, clothes and similar freebies from UK donors since the 2019 general election, more than almost any other MP, according to research by the Financial Times.

Is that not allowed then ? Seems to me he’s been offered gifts and accepted some ? Does that make him a bad person -no.

He declared it though? And it's within the law? Ok great all sorted.

This.

🥱

So, who declared more, then?

And that is a problem because?

And...?

It’s the ones who don’t declare it you have to worry about…

I suspect he’s not accepted any more than anyone else…he’s just been honest and admitted to it and done it by the book as he should.

non story

When I worked for the Council we weren't allowed to accept anything. I don't know why someone higher up the chain should be able to.

Government employees shouldn't. State gifts are different.

Well he will be stopping work at 6pm every Friday, so whist the country goes to the dogs over the weekends, he will need tickets for events. Bless him.

I don’t care.

Good for him.

Another for this 👆

At least he wasn't made a Lord by his desperate mates like some people. Looking at you Cameron.

more than almost any other MP

So who were the MPs who received more @nearlylovemyusername ? I can't access the article.

Has he broken the law?

That's funny. I work for the council and we are, up to a limit. We have to declare all of them. Not that I get any 😂

Good man. I hope he can ring fence his Friday night dinners with his family as much as possible. No doubt he will be working plenty on the other 6 and two thirds days.

Any chance of sharing the actual article @nearlylovemyusername rather than just the clickbaity title?

God the Tories are getting desperate aren't they?

Good for him! How wife is Jewish and Friday dinner will be very important. Braverman spoke about her in laws Friday dinners. I'm quite sure he will have plenty of advisors who will get in touch with him quickly if required. It's interesting how low some Tories will stoop

Article is behind paywall and I exhausted my sharing limit. Google reposts

All I'm saying is that he's the same as everyone else. And he's not even in power yet

Who are the MPs who received more freebies than Starmer?

In this Byline Times article, Sunak received £101,000 from donors in just 8 months for plane and helicopter trips. Is the problem that Starmer should have taken more freebies, or do Sunak's freebies not count?

Copy and paste the details of the others, then. Or just type them, like you did his.

You were implying he was doing something underhand. You got schooled, and now you're changing your tune.
