When it was just the Isreal lobby donating to MPs, nobody in the press wanted to scrutinize what the money was for. Free clothes are bad, but free trips to Isreal are just fine.
It’s disappointing to see this non-issue of who buys Starmer’s ties being so artificially inflated. I understand why media outlets with a clear partisan agenda, such as the Mail, are doing this. But it’s a lot harder to understand why serious journalists like LK are entertaining such trivialities.
Whether within the rules or not, they seem so blinkeredly oblivious to how morally shabby all the take take take of donated extravagances look. Yes, the previous Government looked every bit as bad, if not far worse but there's no winning back faith in British Politics when such dismal examples are being set.
Dear god what performative BS from LK. They are within the rules - fine discuss how to fund politics as a general topic. Nothing but nothing is comparable to the previous lot.
MP's accept heating allowance whilst labour take it away from pensioners 😮. Give the Freebies back Labour , you should be so much better that the last lot 😢 of charlatans
This is what I hate about partisanship. Some people cheer on LK when she’s exposing the Tories but boo her when she does the same thing with Labour. With Government comes even more responsibility.. Suddenly - Angela Raynor - who any brief Google will see her ripping people up about sleaze , is saying “ nothing to see here”. This is truly awful and she should go because it’s far from the first time that she’s been criticised on monetary/perks issues. Maybe we are just immune to “ perks of the job” but with a politician who had previously criticised others it just looks like hypocrisy. I say this as someone who had cheered her and Brigitte Phillips on as working class people in politics.
They have the winter fuel fiasco and the Deputy Prime minister's (in all but name) salary issue. Just give it time mate (friend for everyone else in the world). They will crumble under the pressures of government. Most of them are unsophisticated tw @ ts.
Apart from forcing those with dementia to sell their houses, killing off pensioners and forcing children into rubbish schools, encouraging people to drown in the channel and undermining the economy?
I'm absolutely determined. I'm absolutely focused. All the same old platitudes the Tories said. And so you should be as a MP!
DELIVER! They just come out with buzz words no conviction whatsoever. Let's be honest none of them could deliver a parcel 😂.
No one is above the law 😂😂😂Prince andrew,Jimmy saville,rolf harris,huw edwards....I could go on but I only have a few hour's
Its all ok as long as it's not wallpaper.
Are,my Laura and Christine Gorgeous!!!
How is she saying we are different than the tories - then going well it’s been going on for years
She hasn't got a clue, the developers will put two fingers up to her, she knows nothing about building or the process.
Rayner is talking out her arse!!
Good follow up Qs LK

Great job Laura. Ignore the haters and trolls!
She didn't pay for her holiday in New York !! That's a complete LIE !
sorry, but "working hard" is contra-indicated, imho?
Forget when the wheel hits the tarmac, the -h-t has hit the fan for Labour already.
morning morning
Keep digging Rayner.
A disaster from day one .As for Kier Starmer I think there are plauges that are more popular than him.
Why have they put 3 Labour supporters in the studio where is the balance
Hard faced chancer.
Growler, looks like a butchers shop on fire.

Oh God...Chris Gulp 🤦♂️
The Mail and Express are the lowest of the low gutter press.
Triggered by the truth.
Don’t like the truth do you. Let’s see if you are right in 5 years time. That is if there will be anything left of our country.

They’ve been in two minutes and already things are coming out.. wait four years and see if you still feel the same way
Good try Laura, but Rayner is not evasive, entitled or unrealistic.
Just dense
No just a liar and a pathetic person.
The donation story is a massive nothingburger, just shows they don't have anything on Labour

Apart from pensioners freezing this winter 😢

She couldn't care less
