- Sir Keir Starmer has paid back more than £6,000 worth of gifts and hospitality he received since entering Number 10 after a row over ministerial donations.
The Prime Minister is covering the cost of six Taylor Swift tickets, four to the races and a clothing rental agreement with a high-end designer favoured by his wife, Lady Victoria Starmer.
The Independent’s chief political commentator John Rentoul joins Talk’s Mike Graham to discuss this further.

Good grief, sounds like John Rentoul would try and defend Jimmy Savile as long as he was wearing a Labour rosette. What an absolute sausage.
It is amusing to see apologists for Starmer and his motley crew doing their job so badly and being so unintentionally funny! Mr. Rentoul should be embarrassed by his stumbling, hopelessly inept performance.
Exactly
Ha ha . The same stuff is happening in the USA bunch of leeches. Sucking the blood money from hard working tax payers , then making silly excuses to justify their pure greed and out of touch actions !!!!! Ducking fidiots
He's playing with starma's sausage
You mean hostage.
No free speech for us, but plenty of free stuff for him.
They can only take your free speech 🎤 if you let them , I for one will never be silenced 😊
Me neither, I’m me and I’ll say what I want🤷🏻♀️
Aww bless, baby bot's had its free speech taken away.
How do I know this? Because baby bot freely spoke about it online. 😂😂😂
Indeed so. re the video, it is amusing to see apologists for Starmer and his motley crew doing their job so badly and being so unintentionally funny! Mr. Rentoul should be embarrassed by his stumbling, hopelessly inept performance.
@@ShyTalks-d8b You sound like a weirdo.
Stop booking this fool hes a pain
He’s a fucking disgrace, what would expect working for that rag?
John Rentoul is an apologist for Starmer and his cronies.
Typical Independent, Woke Lefties.
Indeed he is but it is amusing to see apologists for Starmer and his motley crew doing their job so badly and being so unintentionally funny! Mr. Rentoul should be embarrassed by his stumbling, hopelessly inept performance.
And ironically he works for the Independent! You couldn’t make it up?😂
Anyone who defends Starmer doesn't have a moral compass and never will possess one.
Trivial ? Over 100 grand,lets call it what it is, corruption.
👍
Mikes asking the right questions. It's all coming crashing down and labour commentators can't handle it
Blaming the system. Excuse.
The labour MP in Chesterfield, Toby Perkins took £1400 worth of hospitality at the Wimbledon Tennis. Then voted to remove the winter fuel allowance.
Good socialist, I don’t think so!
@@douglasrutter6809No such thing anymore,most just follow the party line without question,nice easy job,nice easy perks.
People in Chesterfield vote out this pillock at the May elections?
@@robertadams1054How?
@@beatlebrian4404 local elections in May 2025.
Forget the money,what about our countries security? Why is Lord Ali going around speaking for the uk,no one voted for him!
He’s a Islamic shmoozer?
But his influence has been bought and paid for. He gets to talk to leaders in the middle east because Starmer and the others have been bought, and there are more bad things to come out.
Was Alley negotiating in Iraq at the same time as Thomas Kingston, deceased, was there as a UK Gov Hostage Negotiator
2TK, to you and your team and to paraphrase our lovely Angie: 'All Liebour are scum.'
That man is the Tony Blair fan club. Sick and tired of him .
As a lawyer, surely starmer must realize that you can't defend the indefensible
Trouble needs to be made about all the fiddling Labour are getting up to.
Repaying a pittance is a joke , and it’s taking the public for fools, if he thinks that will satisfy public opinion he’s badly deluded.
Mike is spot on - no moral compass at all. Anyone in my company who accepted a bribe would be fired and their feet wouldn’t touch the ground as they exited. And the giver is as guilty as the receiver. Vote Reform 🇬🇧
Starmer is a prime example to why nobody trusts politicians and are fed up with all the big parties. John is a prime example to why printed news media sales have fallen off a cliff.
Good of you Mike you tell them We need more people like you Love your show ❤
What a laugh Unprincipled Starmer talking about Principles
Thank God for Mike Graham Hooray!!
STARMER IS bumming lord Ali
Get him out !!!
How?
Starmer is saying if I can't have freebies, nobody can.
I think your spot on about that, if he can't abuse it no on eles should be allowed too in his dumb mindset
His whole political career is rooted in castigating the Tories for their cronyism
This is not a trivial matter as it has direct bearing on the integrity and character of the man.
Id rather him pay all the tax he has avoided. £50k owed. Plus if all MPs paid the tax they avoided it would cut the gifts by 90%
He's a lawyer who obviously believes that his lies are always, theoretically, the truth
Mike vs John is marvellous
JOHN RENTOUL ANOTHER TOOL !! ABSOLUTE TWAT 💯 WELL DONE MIKE GREAT WORK 👍🏻 🎉❤
They're all on the he take. Very simple.
You have to give john 10 out of 10 for even attempting to defend the indefensible 😂
While at the same time proving that The Independent isn't.
@@dartskipper3170 It's always been on the left, they have a nerve calling themselves The Independent.
And giving everyone a laugh at his own expense
This guy John....,is unbelievable!
Completely out of touch!!🙄
The Independent what do you expect?
FGK is an utter chancer and not fit to wear the shirt!
This is not going away British people are not stupid. Labour party is stupid. It’s time they leave government reform uk 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴
NO MORE TIME WASTING. GET STARMER OUT NOW!!!!!
Mike's a one man 'Woodward and Bernstein' and more power to him.
If it’s now ‘a principle’ that two-tier Keir pays back some money (it should be all the money) then two-tier Keir is admitting that he was wrong to accept the gifts without paying the full price of them in the first place. The fact theses Liebour cronies rush to dismiss the corruption of the Liebour government just shows how deeply corrupt the Liebour supporters truly are.
Oh dear. A fool if ever there was one.
I see this guest works for the Independent. Of course he does, no other paper would have him
He’s a liar, he’ll pay back sod all!!!
He will then claim it back on expenses.
Lets start calling them what they are bribes its not a donation if it was it would be in the party coffers not on stammers and his wifes backs
And the boats keep coming in, it's all just one big con
Boats full of undocumented men. Where do they go to?
Even those of us who warned of a Labour government couldn't have imagined how rancid, how despicable, and how hypocritical it'd be. What an absolute nightmare of a party. We need a GE, urgently.
Amazing that John writes for the "Independant" but is a Labour schill , lol pathetic.
Well he's going to use his love nest in the day,pretending to his wife he's working,makes sense
If he had principles he wouldnt have taken the freebies in the first place! And this from a man who is legally qualified. Lets not even mention the fact that in 2020 he had an accident with a cyclist who was injured and didnt even wait for or report it to the police until later that afternoon AFTER the police had caught up with him! Very law abiding... not!
If he was a stick of rock it would have hypocrite all the way through it!
Principles,you mean he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar
RenTool of the Liebour clownshow : " Nothing to see here, move along"
Child support agency. Has he made any payments.😂😂😂😂
Get him off..he always defends this labour party...your wrong he's right
sounds tp me like this John Rentoul fella is a paid labour mouthpiece
Did Rentoul really just say "they're only questions if you ask them"? Is he so rattled he forgot he's a journalist? 😂
I love the guy suggesting that lord ALLI convinced Ed Milliband to vote against strikes then tells Mike it absurd to repeat the allegation
Rentatool grinning like a cheshire cat whilst defending the lying rat PM.
This served as a reminder why I don’t read the ‘so-called’ Independent.
If Starmer was running a private business then he could do what he wanted, but he isn’t. He’s paid for by the tax payer so should be totally transparent. People have a right to know where their money is being spent.
Sue Gray in charge of Proprietary and Ethics at Westminster? Biggest oxymoron for Centuries !😂
John Rentoul is surely a good friend of Keir Starmer because he defends him in the face of all criticism and doesn't want the embarrassment when he next runs into him.
These people live in a bubble, they are totally clueless.
We don’t need “principles of general application”, we need politicians who have principles!!
Rentoul digging such a hole for himself when he won't accept what is in front of him 🇬🇧
Yes this does need to be discussed, otherwise you can imagine the amount of undercover things that would likely to be going on, discussing it keeps them on their toes. I think they forget they are there to serve the people, not the other way around!
I like it when the comedy act comes on. Breaks the morning up a bit.
You can't defend the indefensible
my dad just went A and E and spent 49 hours on a trolly waiting for a bed
Yes they did say that they would take over by being on the inside of parliament??????????????????????
The Labour party's grotesque horror show continues unabated.
Surely all barristers lie ? Especially if the represent someone who’s clearly guilty and try getting them off the charge 🤷🏼♂️
Should pay it all back
Free tier gear for kier, what a ridiculous excuse for a human being, a disgrace to our country
What is the Independent reporting on if this is all irrelevant
Now we know why the Independant isn't worth reading
BBC and Sky News and GMB and LBC will claim that Keir Starmer has been a Wonderful PM for 100 Days in Office Talk TV.
If you want to save British culture & heritage (write to your local Labour indigenous MP to join the Tory party) if your MP is an ethnic descendant don’t waste your time
My jaw has just about dislocated - it has dropped so many times during the comments from the "guest". "They are only questions if you ask them" .I can't believe he said that. Isn't that at the root of journalism? Isn't political commentating journalism? Then he says as long as things are known and declared he doesn't know what the problem is. The problem is, Mr Political Commentator, things are deliberately hidden and not declared. that is DECEIT.
'They are only questions if you ask them.' had me roaring with laughter. Should be a viral meme.
A man that bought his peerage from WMD Tony !!! What was too be expected?
And the NI terra wrists all got a free pass under his jurisdiction
How rich is rich starmer,10 mill, 20 mill. When will you stop begging?
Work till you die,Never own your home.Everything has doubled in price.We went through the biggest wealth transfer in human history.Where do most of you see yourselves in five years.I bet most of Parlament see themselves a future.I've opted out of this B/S society.
He needs to do prison time. Simple.
I have made the point previously, why do you persist in having John Rentoul on the programme? It clearly isn’t for his insight 😂 or wisdom, I can only conclude it is for sport! Poor show on TalkTV.
He always sounds as if he is making up his "facts" and arguments as he goes along. Sometimes he changes his opinions 180° in mid sentence. 😂
If you're hoping to hear some sense from a labour supporter, you're going to be waiting for an awfully long time
He has NO PRINCIPLES !!!! nor will he ever have .
Surely it's not a case of how much he pays back it's that he shouldn't have taken it in the first place?
Why do you get this guy on, all he ever does is disagree with logic. If you say 2+2=4 he'll probably say "well not really, that's not true is it"
John RENTATOOL.
Somewhat appropriate methinks.
When I learned during the pandemic Kier was telling everyone to stay at home for safety etc he was filming from Mr Ali penthouse, that was on national tv how do you tell people who lost love ones to stay at home and then you are stopping at your mates penthouse
its corruption at the heart of politics is this bloke got an excuse for starmers every move
Yep starmer can let old people go cold and die but he can still claim for his own winter fuel payments lol
Bung gate.tip of enormous iceberg?
they caming in as a party of change but pound notes is alll we want now
How do you pay back something you have already Watched ? can you pay back a dinner you already eaten ? Who is he paying back ? What a load of Bollox. they are on the take. ALL OF THEM !
repay £6000 , why not just keep it & pay the high earner TAX on the £107,000 of backhanders like everyone else would have to, or has he put it in his special pension for him only , we should all have an untaxable special pension law for us
Lord Ali owns this party, the King has to dissolve this government.
Sir Keir is the leader of the free world and needs fashionable clothing for state dinners and the such. We want our Keir to dazzle when he entertains diplomats or when he visits the colonies! Designer clothes are a must for a leader in his position. First impressions are important and Sir Keir looking like a runway model greatly improves the UK standing in the world.
People on UA-cam keep saying that there is a connection between Tony Blair, Starmer and Lord Ali that goes way back to the 90s I don’t know how true it is but it sounds dodgy if it is
And Mandelson. It's in the MSM and Press nearly every day now.
Blair made him a lord
Enjoyed that , devil,s advocate and you , best entertainment But this is the true state of affairs!!
I think it was £8,000 at time for the box at the football!
Starmer should wear a Rossett that says buy me!
Is there magic flying carpets facing East just Inside number 10's door.
Lord Alli could be a spy.. Starma is a narcissist
He's not right in head stammer if you lie you have to make sure your great otherwise you will trip yourself up like the clown 🤡
My cronies are not like your cronies. Some animals are more equal than others.
That guy isn’t on this planet
Prime ingredients for a word soup.
