'Do You Have A Violin Small Enough?' Kay Burley Skewers Minister Over Starmer Freebies Row

I think "two-tier Keir" is unfair.

But "free gear Keir" is very funny.

This sort of thing is just terrible. And I am always left wondering whether HMRC get their share from the benefits in kind.

PS. There always lies, **** lies and statistics. One man's "freebie" is another man's GB News Contract...

Huge scale of Starmer's gifts and freebies revealed - dwarfing all other MPs

As I said earlier, this is being taken out of context.

There needs to be a review of all gifts, contracts, and second jobs/Directorships.

PS. I'm a little confused. Seeing Arsenal is worth money?

All depends on what is important. And the result is bound to be part of that.

Spurs were poor. Probably half a goal worse than Arsenal. Although not as bad as they were last night

Your centre halves are superb. Forward line better than given credit for. Timber looks awful-though may improve, as been out for ages. Jorginho is a fill-in squad player. No surprise there. Thought Partey was going to be a great signing-he is not.

You were there for the taking in centre midfield without your main men. So why on earth did we pick just 1 centre midfielder and 4 wide men/Number 10s?

I think the press are being a little slippery on this story.
Although it is probably sending the wrong message.
His 107k in freebies dates back to 2019.
The next nearest MP has had 40k in freebies.
His wife going to see Taylor Swift twice is not a good look.
You would hope that a PM, and his wife could afford to buy their own clothes.

The privilege being privileged, I never knew this happened..rolls eyes

Voices: Give Starmer a break – who cares if he gets free Arsenal tickets? (I don’t…)

Here is why I do care.

For reasons that no self-respecting Spurs fan can understand, Arsenal manage to fill out their ground for every single game.

There are thousands of people who would like to see their team. And cannot get a ticket. Because millionaires, who can afford to pay their way, get given freebies.

I can understand Starmer's point that it would cost the taxpayer more for him to be seated with the real fans. But that doesn't explain why he doesn't pay for his privileged seat.

A fair point.
