    "You can only become prime minister if you accept the gifts," when you are of a normal background, rang a bell with me.
    That is somehting my father told me over and over again in different words, that you can only rise through the ranks to power as a normal person, if others in the circle of power can buy you, or have enough dirt on you, that they can be asured that you behave as they want you to behave. Those gifts work doubly, they either buy you, or if you decide to do your own thing later, they got something to blackmail you

    Let us stop for a bit, and ask ourselves. What’s the name of The Game ? The thing we are all involved in ? It’s a kind of war - war by other means. And all kinds of regrettable things happen in the course of a war -even in a just war. Shabby things, thoughtless things. Nobody emerges with totally clean hands. But no-one regrets our victory. Nor should they. So let’s not get carried away. Our eternal enemy think they have found a flaw they can exploit . And they will have their moment of joy. So we must eat humble pie. Let’s swallow it, learn our lesson , and carry on. Because our Cause is just.

    After all deductions of tax etc, I take home about £15k a year. Working for local government, if I was given a gift it would have to be declared. Even packs of biscuits are taken tentitavely.
    If even a bottle of wine could be concidered influential, then how can anyone say, declared or not, that a £20k gift would not influence someone??? The way you speak to someone can influence them never mind gifts totalling more than a years salary for some.

      @@andrewstevenson118 yes. My point is that he obsesses over what he perceives as an unfair media. He spends his time calling out other peoples bias as a way to detract from the story when the story is something he doesn’t like.
      Take starmer and the Labour front bench. Instead of focus on their wrongdoing he actually talks about the reporting of it as being biased and it not being as bad as the last lot. He’s a paid up member of starmers fan club and has the brass neck to moan about the bias leanings of everyone who disagrees with him.
      So yes, it’s relevant

    Just to bring my comment over here too - OH NOOOO THE POOR POOR Starmer, go on James fluff him up, YEEES let him take bribes from the rich cause he's such a blighted poor man making 160k by his little self, while taking money from the poorest people in the UK. Let the pensioners die in the cold while Starmer enjoys his fancy glasses, clothes and other BRIBES from the rich. That's a fact. If you were against Rishi and Boris getting that , you should be against this behaviour now!.

      "That's the fact"
      No it's not, you've got them wrong.
      The poorest pensioners won't have anything "taken", they still qualify. The majority of pensioners are on £27k/year (more than the median working person who gets no handouts), they don't need the WFA.
      "If you were against Rishi and Boris getting that, you should be against this behaviour now!"
      Are you alright? You understand that Boris legitimately broke multiple rules, tried to cover up what should be publicly declared, while Starmer has, in fact, broke none and has made no attempt to cover up anything, right? Why are you trying to equate the two when they're not at all the same?
      "That's the fact" - this is the problem with keyboard warriors online, they've got 'fact' mixed up with 'belief'.
