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!

We don't actually know if they put any such pressure on the police, as others have said.

We also shouldn't overstate "police independence". The police do not in fact go around doing whatever they like and their operations are to some extent informed by government policy. Both the Home Secretary and the Mayor of London have explicit responsibilities in relation to law enforcement.

Compared to the Tories funnelling wealth into the pockets of their mates, ensuring security for a major event is hardly a terrible evil anyway, is it?

You’re a Reform voter @Icanthinkformyselfthanks so what do you think of Farage saying his £32k gift of airline tickets to the US “isn’t really a gift”? Apparently it was to represent Clacton on the world stage 🙄 From what I’ve read his constituents would just like him to turn up occasionally.

Why was 'she' given the extra security? Pretty certain it should've been the crowds.

Yes!
Did we ever find out who paid for BJ Caribbean holiday? I remember he refused to say.

@since1986 the crowds were also given extra security.

It was unclear at that time whether the threat also extended to her, and so she was also given extra security. However, things like the police escort have been common for her when leaving other cities too.

Yes! ^

I'm also interested, OP, on what you think of Farage's trip to the US.
Are you calling out MP sleaze generally or just Labour?

Sleaze rage. Funny how the lefties come now to defend their party.

@itwasnevermine , the security was not for women and girls. 🙄

@Icanthinkformyselfthanks

Yes. It was. Everyone at the concert was given enhanced security.

• 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*

Yes and proroguing Parliament anybody?

Oh but let's get all frothy about the Home Sec doing her job.

She probably knows but may be just wants to see if others get confused.

I simply struggle to understand how anyone can support any political party to such a level they will not just accept sleaze but try to defend it. The grubby on the take of Labour senior politicians since they came to power is inexcusable

@1990s was correct in asking whether you really understand the issue.

Credible terrorist threat.
3 little girls murdered at TS themed party
Manchester Arena.

Looks like you picked the wrong theme to bash Labour.

Quit glue whilst you're at it.

Ah c'mon, it's been a drought!

Oh yes but but the wallpaper and money to mates and Caribbean holidays. The bloody point is that they sold themselves as not the same.

@Icanthinkformyselfthanks that must be the most ironic username ever! Did you read this shit in the Daily Mail? Of course the Home Secretary and London Mayor would be involved in security planning for an event like this especially after the terror threat in Vienna.

Pretty sure Boris would get invited even if he is not the prime minister or a politician. It is just his circle of mates. All rich and powerful.

They did, they should not have done and they were rewarded for doing so. Are you really unable to not understand?

I am not able to understand OP.

If I did understand, I highly suspect I would not give a shit anyway.

Plus - I don't have any pearls to clutch at.

This is really scraping the barrel in terms of finding something to froth about 😂

I struggle to understand how someone can be against women and children receiving security

OP you can’t say anything negative about TS on MN. It’s one of the basic rules of the site.
Now, if OASIS had bribed some politicians… 😂

This is hilarious.…compared to the enormous list of sleaze, corruption and wrong doings the Tories have under their belt it’s totally insignificant. Please find something else to froth about.

Nobody really gives a shit. We’d rather politicians applied pressure to the police to increase security for massive events in order to avoid another incident like the Manchester bombing, if you can’t understand that then it is you that is hard of understanding OP.
