It’s certainly the happiest he’s been since the Exit Poll dropped
Nah as proven already he’s a snidy slippery charlatan who will wriggle for every last breath like one of Sherlock Zero’s octopuses prior to ending up on one of his 15 course taster soirées

University tuition fees ‘could hit £10,500 a year’ under new government plans

The reason Sir Free Gear concluded his conference speech by listing Labour’s achievements since they took office is because if he’d listed all the freebies he’s had since he became Party Leader they’d still be there now.
I’m still waiting for the donation of a lifetime supply of sausages from Heck to surface….. I mean sausages were clearly on his mind….

Serious question. Which Labour MP could takeover who isn’t middle class and in receipt of a stack load of expensive gifts?
Are we talking just the John McDonnell wing of the party? Yvette Cooper was excellent at the conference.

I was never really a fan of Corbyn but was always impressed by McDonnell. I'd have him as chancellor over Reeves in a heartbeat although most would probably disagree. Just wish Andy Burnham was available for leader.

Lord Alli really is the gift that keeps on giving!
Me neither - he was always so scruffy
Now, Sir Keir Starmer - there’s man who knows how to dress.

McDonnell seemed far more intelligent than Corbyn and less spiteful. Also not overtly caught up in the “Let’s give Putin a chance” 1950’s time warp. But from memory I think I was informed here by Labour supporters that McDonnell was a sheep in wolfs clothing.
But I just can’t see Burnham or McDonnell accepting multiple £10k’s of gifts and hospitality. Naively I thought it was just a toffs or Blairite thing. Not a good look when ordinary people from events under the last government/global events are cash strapped or worse, with the messaging now of “difficult decisions”.
Widening the discussion, would love to see rules that MP’s and their families cannot receive gifts/free privileged hospitality other than for allowed events. Pay your own way at full market prices, join queuing like everyone else. If this requires a pay rise, so be it.

What are your thoughts on the Labour MP resigning?I really wouldn't know where to start
Have a great night guys
I know you weren't asking me but since we are on the subject....that resignation letter? Just wow!
Reading that was like being round someone's house when a big family row suddenly breaks out and years of pent up bitterness and acrimony pours out. Intensely awkward - but you can't tear yourself away.
Normally resignations of this sort are on a matter of policy - which this is, to a point. But to then go further and accuse Starmer of being a shit PM, a shit Leader, a shit politician and and an even shitter colleague ....well, blimey. As Chris Mason will probably say.
