It’s not true. Boris’ figure was something like £6m in gifts to Starmer’s £100k but because he’s not an MP any more he’s not counted.

Subsidised by donors. Not tax payers. What are you actually asking for? Why shouldn’t a politician have campaign costs covered by donors? And why only small gifts from close people and not the millions from vested interests? And if you get rid of them do you want taxpayers to fund campaign...

I’m Not anything like the same. Sunak net worth is £750m Starmer is more like £4m and most of that will be property and pensions.

I know the old style asylums rightly had a bad rep, but I wonder if something like that but with a more modern approach might help. I also wonder what the cost difference is and if prison is cheaper that’s why we’ve moved away from asylums.

The story is hide your donations and gifts like the Tories, or give millions in cash and receive no scrutiny.

Right. So is the problem he has multimillionaire friends? That his friends give him gifts? Walk me through this and why it’s OK for an oil or tech company to give millions to a party in government but a long time close donor to the party can’t pay for clothes during an election campaign.

Absolutely crazy that we’re concerned about a long time friend buying some glasses and not millions of pounds of cash being exchanged with businesses for who knows what.

Genuinely. Is the problem that this guy is a donor or what? If it was his rich mate from school would that have been better? Lord Ali clearly is close friends with several Labour MPs and a long time supporter of the party. If he’s not allowed to donate literally no one is. Be clear. What is the...

At least the midfield issue isn’t as bad as you thought!

No Rudoni?

I would support a policy that any 16 year old who has the worlds press camped outside their family home gets a quiet place to study.

And Sweden

A long time Labour supporter and friend of Labour MPs buying some clothes so the PM looks nice or helping out his sisters friend is not the problem with money in politics. YouTube taking Labour figures to Glasto then changing the Digital Sevrices Tax policy, large hedge funds giving millions to...

I watched Uglies on Netflix last night. Possibly the worst idea for a sci fi movie ever. I can take a few plot holes but this was more a plot fishnet. Terrible all round and doesn’t even have an ending, instead setting up for a sequel. I’m not going to watch your sequel cos the first one was...

@Sky Blue Pete just came across this on Twitter. One of those “too good to be true” graphs I reckon but do you know if there’s similar data in the UK that shows prison numbers increasing as we shut mental asylums?

Ah yes Wea Streeting who says “why aren’t you looking at policy that changed rather than hassling a GCSE student?” You’ve been on autopilot since Corbyn lost. Sad to see.

You find pussy cheaper anywhere else? Fuck iiiit.

It’s bollocks if we’re honest. The YouTube donation and change to the DST, genuinely concerning. £4m from hedge fund, less concerning but still likely to be influencing policy. Instead people are going after a guy lending money to his sisters best mate and offering out his flat to a 16 year...

There is such a thing as truth and there is none in the idea advanced economies suffer inflation from govt debt. See: High debt levels can hinder the fight against inflation.

Such inflation 2010-2020, much asset appreciation.
