    It’s ironic that what Ehud Barak, former Israeli PM and former leader of the Israeli Labor Party ,has just said on C4 news would get him expelled from Starmers Labour Party . He called the current Israeli government racists and dictators

    Hate the Tories with a passion. But sadly if LBD (who by the way aren’t the ‘saviour of the left’ they are portrayed as) did a similar sting with the Shadow Cabinet you would get a very similar video.

    I'm a lefty and I completely agree. I think it's poor of them to only approach 2 Labour MPs. That suggests either they knew they would be as bad, or approached more but didn't report the (bad) results.

    It's borderline dishonest journalism.

    They used the same ratio as what is in the registered 2nd Job list on the House of Commons website. If they hadn’t, that would have skewed the numbers the other way.

    Im assuming David Lammy was one who they approached.

    That makes a bit more sense.

    Pretty sure he was a client of my ex’s. The brewery certainly was, and I think title was the owner that she used to deal with. I’ll ask her the next time I speak with her

    The sad (but no surprising) thing is, they had no idea who they would be working for or role they would be expected to do. They even didn't understand the core brief of 6 board meetings. Yet they clearly chanced it with a value and then proceeded to only polarise to payment.

    They've posted the Hancock and Williamson interviews today. Am guessing they were expecting much different answers than the ones they got. Williamson stopped the interview and Hancock specifically stated that he couldn't lobby on their behalf.

    All this 'sting' has really told us is that they will listen to anybody that is willing to give them money. But we knew that anyway. Nothing incriminating in any of the interviews from what I can see.

    But the Kwarteng and Williamson interviews. They couldn't string a sentence together, I'm amazed they've ever been given a job at all.

    They did include labour MPs in the sting, none of them got hooked.
