Cheery….. no Labour politician ever lost their job in the north east eh? You could pretty much be a drug trafficker and still hang onto your seat up there. Thatchers Union attacks and mine closures will never be forgiven, largely because most of the region never recovered and probably never will.
But yeah, Kier never had anything to worry about from the boys in red. He could have broke out the glow sticks and pills and it would still have been deemed a work event.
Drinking during super important, nationally important business though eh? Sounds as legit as Boris and his staff.
328p the USA……
Agree with you Clued on your points made. It was all quite sickening to see some of the lavish EU "**** ups" a few years ago . Freebies taken by politicians should be taxed as benefits at the top rate of tax at the very least but I like your idea of converting the benefit into a charitable donation. We know that KS likes his football as well as a beer or two with curry after working hours.......I wonder how many of the Durham Police top brass were paid up members of the Labour Party ?
cherryburn, wouldn't it be much more in the Labour ideology if those receiving gifts such as football tickets, etc.. asked for the monetary value / sold them instead and gave the proceeds to charities for poor, etc... Indeed, wouldn't it be great to hear a 'super brave' politician before some important political gathering, eg UN, G20, recommend basic meal menus rather than the normal very expensive ones, with the cost difference donated to charity !! May not amount to a large amount but it would send a leadership message to us ordinary folk !!
They are all the same. Its just that the media in the UK, and in most civilised/western nations, are very left biased, because those guys are 'nicer' ,right?. Funny how Sir Kier's lack of declarations got a little 2x2 inch section, but a Tory does it and it's headline news followed by a torrent of resignation demands by the opposing party. Free tickets, free this, free that. You'd think they could pay their own way via that £80k+ salary eh? Even bloggers have to declare freebies/payment, as lets be honest, nothing is free and there's usually something given in return whether it be endorsements or PR etc/aka advertisement which isn't entirely honest. For me, all such things should be taxable too if in a work capacity, when not as gift per se. They are all cut from the same cloth these politicians. Just a different colour to appeal to a different type of person.
Get Rishi out of town, sticking to his MP job whilst he tries to remember that he's not a Labour minister, and then Liz can tell Kier to get back in his box.
And oil/gas are back to pre-invasion prices...... So how long before 1.65 at the pumps again? Whilst I accept it for what it is.... a lot of people are capitalising on the situation. Will diesel ever fall back under 1.50 now that people are used to paying 1.90?
And that David Lammy has also forgotten to declare gifts in a timely manner or is it too complicated....is this a Labour illness ? Starmer, Lammy, Rayner et al love to accept gifts for football matches , days out and the opera. I am sure that many needing to call on food banks will be more than happy for this to continue ad infinitum. BP pay their fair share of taxes as it is but at least this KS posturing shows where we are heading with a potential Labour Government. There is already an exodus underway.

The guys a clown. He knows fine well that it’s not just oil companies making a fortune off this situation, nor is it them who set oil prices. It’s countries/OPEC. He’s not stupid. He’s just pandering to his voters and as ever, promising them more money/vote buying. Standard practice.
Truss has already stated that she’s against taxing the firms who supply our energy though, unlike Rishi who strayed too far left, despite the £3k suits. She seems to get the notion of don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Governments done run the world, companies and (sadly) dictators do. BP doesn’t need the UK. But the UK needs energy partners now and tomorrow/beyond. Unless we are happy paying $100 oil forever.
We have another year of this oilie bashing to come, I suspect. Even if profits will likely cool in Q3, ahead of that inevitable Winter pain for the people who’ve prioritised going to Spain over paying their gas bill.
Morning Chandley, I used to respect Starmer, although I do not subscribe to his doctrine. Not anymore, he has become a complete reactionary without a single authentic original idea of his own, with selective amnesia for failing to declare gifts.
Jakers
Predictable.
We have another 12 months of high energy prices. How many times can these crooks go to the well? Rishis adherence to such policies appear to have cost him the big job.
