Oh dear and now Yvette!

[Icanthinkformyselfthanks]

Yvette Cooper’s husband was given Taylor Swift tickets worth hundreds of pounds and he invited his wife. Following this Ms Swift was given security she worth millions she might not have necessarily expected to receive. The Labour sleaze just does not let up!

Exactly! And the TS concerts: thus able to go ahead - did great things for the economy. My only concern re the 'Labour sleaze' (0.000001% of Tory sleaze?)
is that they have been a bit naieve about it. Much better to have paid for those minor things like tickets & specs than have these silly headlines. Someone on HIGNIFY said last week that it was because the items themselves were boring - tickets & specs - rather than gold wallpaper & duck houses on duck ponds.
Perhaps that's why KS & Co are getting such grief?

Yep this. What about the royals?

@itwasnevermine , lord please read what the objection is. Those tickets were received on the back of pressure being applied to the Met which they had no right and should not have done.

Khan both applied pressure on the Met to grant Ms Swift the level of security normally reserved for the King on State business.The sort of security which has been previously denied to Prince Harry. The police are supposed to be independent

If you're going to try and make a political point, it's important to demonstrate you understand what what you are talking about @Icanthinkformyselfthanks .

You have completely misunderstood the legal issues

Prince Harry has never been denied protection. He has been denied IPP status which King Charles (and other Heads of State etc.) have. 🙄

And why are you calling it 'my party'? Do you not realise the stupidity of what you've posted? And for information, I haven't voted Labour since the Iraq war.

@Icanthinkformyselfthanks I actually cannot believe you are objecting to women and girls being given extra security in the fact of a terror threat.

Please give your head a wobble.

How absolutely bizarre. You're arguing that the Home Secretary shouldn't be having discussions with the police over high risk, high profile, public events. Are you really unaware of the responsibilities of the Home Secretary? She is quite literally responsible for policing, law and order and national security.

This. It's utterly pathetic.

Don't present her with logic!! She thinks the police operate in a vacuum

What do you think of Robert Jenrick’s most recent £75k of dodgy donations?

I don’t think it’s sleezy at all! And if it is … small compared to the tories

Sleezy is spending £50 million on a bridge that doesn’t exist (BJ)

Sleezy is billions on Covid app - that doesn’t function (BJ)

Sleezy is billions on unused PPE (BJ)

Murder is the way the Tory government behaved during the COVID pandemic

Oh dear!
You really do keep embarrassing yourself.

Where’s your evidence that Yvette Coppwr “applied pressure” on the Met and that they otherwise would not have reached the same decision?

Do you realise that Taylor Swift is a much much bigger global personality than Prince Harry, and the event on a totally different scale to anything he does, and involved huge numbers of women congregating?

@MrTiddlesTheCat I couldn't agree more.

I think the government could do worse than introduce a module at secondary school on how government and the wider public sector actually functions and the roles of each part of the structure.

@itwasnevermine , nope. Are you ignoring the fact that Cooper and Khan went beyond their remit?

@HotCrossBunplease , widely reported and not denied. Find me the evidence I’m wrong.

@Icanthinkformyselfthanks beyond their remit?

As Home Secretary and mayor of London, they went beyond their remit by ensuring that the concerts were safe?

🙄

I tell you the worse of it.
Putting the son of one of Putin's inner circle into the House of Lords against security services advice after receiving big donations from him.
Then getting pissed with said Lord while on holiday at their Italian villa and ditching your security while foreign secretary.
Both also Boris Johnson btw

Are you ignoring the fact that Cooper and Khan went beyond their remit?
Are you genuinely suggesting they acted as they did in order to get Taylor Swift tickets? @Icanthinkformyselfthanks

If I go through your previous posts will I find a long history of you challenging MPs accepting gifts?

OP, no-one cares. After 14 years of Tory sleaze on an absolutely monumental scale, no-one cares any more. Rightly or wrongly, people have become so immune to political wrongdoings on a level of millions of pounds that, if anything, the public are mostly scathing of attempts to make a news story out of "sleaze" in an amount of hundreds or even thousands of pounds. Labour are going to have to go some distance before attempts to paint them in the same light as the Tories come to fruition. Or maybe it will never happen - we are so numb to what politicians get up to that they may need to be guilty of misappropriating hundreds of millions before it surprises us.

Lisa Nandy denied it yesterday.

The Torygraphy said that Sadiq Khan got given his tickets before any security measures were put in place.

Also @Icanthinkformyselfthanks, England are playing football tonight at Wembley.

Do you think the mayor hasn't been involved in the planning of this?

Yup
Exactly this
It's incredible that people who did actually declare things are being tarred with the same bloody brush as the last government who mostly 'forgot' to declare things like entire companies, houses, flats, other jobs, private flights etc etc etc
