Has he donated a tin opener?

No, because he's evil.

No because he's a right bastard 🤣 when he becomes PM the first thing he's going to do is ban the tin opener!

He took the famalam on their holibobs but his wifey did all the life admin.

I do not think people on here realise this.
On Friday morning, tin openers will be illegal. I hope you mad lefties will be satisfied.

He leaves his crunchy nut cornflakes in the milk until they go completely soft

I haven't read the full thread, just the first page, but as usual I am amazed at the slack that posters are so willing to cut the Labour Party that they just would not do if eg Sunak was the subject of the article.
Oh no.There would be much talk of pigs at the trough and all Tories are just in it to get what they can, and the behaviour is typical of Tories etc etc.
But it's absolutely fine because he's a Labour politician. All perfectly above board, nothing to see here, move on.
Complete hypocrisy again.

In the words of your dear friend David Cameron, chillax. The thread has moved on since then.

Yep, after packing all the suitcases she was seen walking at least a mile behind him dragging them all down the street on her own while he and the kids were happily tucking into greggs sausage rolls

He went to Wimbledon and didn't support Heather Watson.

I thought pigs was Cameron, and in the trough is a novel way of expressing his behaviour with the aforementioned animal.

Notonthestairs · 02/07/2024 20:33

But it literally is above board - within the rules and properly declared.

Conservatives had 14 years to change the rules and funnily enough did not.
