    ... as they say in Thailand.

    I mean he just could pay for an Arsenal FC private box out of his own money (£ several thousand per match). He could just buy his own glasses (£2,275 wtf?). He and his wife could buy their own clothes (£16k approx). He could pay for his own accommodation (£20k).At least then he'd avoid having to give and then take back Lord Alli's Downing Street pass despite not having any official role in government.

    This was the same guy who roasted Boris Johnson and Sunak about being out of touch. The same guy who went to John Lewis to be photographed looking at wallpaper after Boris spunked tax payers money up the wall to have Downing Street redecorated.

    ******.

    Totally agree. There'll be the Starmer apologists queueing up on here mind saying 'ah but....'.
    He's in government now and he's here to 'serve' I believe. I think he's self-serving on this one. No wonder people think politicians are ALL the same and vote for nutters like Farage.

    The greatest joy in all this

    watching right wingers scream until they are red in the face when you point out what they seem to be asking for is Jeremy Corbyn.

    The box at Arsenal I can accept on security grounds, the glasses and the frocks, no excuse; no different than Johnson.

    Do we not want our prime minister to have the power of sight whilst looking dapper.

    You have to look beyond the hypocritical right wing rag outrage but what the hell is he thinking? If he wanted his change agenda to be taken seriously then he’s off to a shocker. Puts his judgement into serious question.

    After the last sh*tshow of sleaze and self interest, this was an opportunity to reset things.....it's not looking good. What do they not understand about staying squeaky clean?

    Brilliant front page again by the Daily Star. Even the corporate box is madness. He should be pretty safe surrounded by 60k who support the same team.

    Amazing, isn't it. The absolute monster who wouldn't even accept a free drink from a coffee shop in his constituency.

    Who would have thought that a man who lied to get elected to lead the Labour Party lied about change to win an election. I for one am shocked.


    God knows who is advising him (probably the dark lord) but he needs to ditch them and quick.

    I remember being told I was wrong when I suggested Starmer wanted to be prime minister for the money & lifestyle it would afford him as his income from working full time in law was more than a prime ministers salary.

    I think those people are quickly seeing how the perks of the job far outweigh any salary he could earn practising law.

    ....

    Keir Starmer is facing questions about whether his £35,000 of free tickets from football clubs risks a conflict of interest as his government prepares to bring in a new regulator opposed by the industry.

    The prime minister has been under scrutiny for days over his more than £100,000 of freebies and gifts over the last parliament, with another £8,000-plus due to be registered for the free use of a hospitality box at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium.

    He could still pay for the box, you know like anyone else would have do.
