I heard he’s got 7 bins.

He put a glass bottle in the paper recycling box, just for a laugh, the absolute fiend.

TimeForRishiByeByes · 03/07/2024 12:28

Not only for his wall he has it pinned to his crocs.

He fly tips in Ann Widdecombe's garden.

And he doesn't even make employer contributions for those poor ZHC flies.

The bastard.

mibbelucieachwell · 03/07/2024 13:12

He scrapped HS2, wasting a huge amount of tax payers money too.
I think.

CovertPiggery · 03/07/2024 13:33

He doesn't put his tray table down for take off and landing

HarrietPierce · 03/07/2024 13:58

He insists that his wife and children address him as "Sir Keir" at all times.

9quidicecream · 03/07/2024 15:17

He leaves lids off felt tips

MotherFeministWoman · 03/07/2024 15:27

Right! That's it, I'm definitely voting reform.

CovertPiggery · 03/07/2024 19:27

He holds the door open for people when they're really far away

I was going to make another joke but the Jonathan pie link has brought me up short.

I'm not ashamed to say its brought me to tears watching that summary of the last 14 years. When its fired at you like that, cut after cut after cut that they've imposed while raiding the public purse to line their own pockets. What the working and middle classes have endured from that shower of absolute shite that is the tories, is beyond words.

I hope they get absolutely obliterated in the polls tomorrow, so roundly defeated that they haven't got a sniff of even being the opposition.

Tomorrow will be a very emotional day/night for lots of us.

‘Here comes the sun’: Zadie Smith on hope, trepidation and rebirth after 14 years of the Tories

I used to shock US audiences with my stories of Britain’s excellent, accessible universities and healthcare. Then the Conservatives ruined the country. Now real change is on the horizon

Good read, thank you.

Oh look, he didn't declare his wife's freebie dresses...didn't take long did it.

He did, you know.

Sometimes facts are just wasted on some people.

itsnotabouthepasta · 02/07/2024 16:54

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

Ah like Keir 😂

You can’t genuinely be trying to insinuate that Keir is more dodgy than Sunak, Johnson, Truss? Or the one (I forget his name) who was the chancellor and didn’t pay £8m in taxes while also trying to get the tax payer to pay for heating in his stables?

Nadhim Zahawi.

Mintgreenpeppermintcreams · 19/09/2024 07:34

He’s probably just the only one genuinely declaring everything so it looks more whereas others just hide it all

Who knows, what is it 9 weeks?

He is doing a pretty good job at appearing to be untrustworthy. Come on, if he was a Conservative you would be tarring him with the same brush.

Terrifying that being Labour seems to give him a get out of jail free pass.

Zonder · 19/09/2024 07:38

How are they doing that, @MrsRobinsonsHandprints ?

But he isn't declaring it. It was leaked to the press.
Instead of being sorry he is trying to punish the civil service

@zonder as above, there are so many posters on here refusing to see any fault because he is Labour.

You know it was leaked to the press because they had declared it but not within the time scale? I think that's quite an important point.
