If he has to go to the VIP area for security reasons, why does he not pay? Is he saying that, if he did not get this freebie, then he would not go to matches "with my boy" [as he put it] at all?

So many particulars. So many questions.
I was reminded that the party stitched a selection to give Sue Gray's son a safe seat 'did very well in online and postal votes' was the line. Presumably using the anyvoter software. Shameless shit really.

The defences being trotted out for Starmer’s freebies get better. You should know it’s important for a 62 year old man to get some “life experience”

Private hospitality isn’t life experience. Trying to sell this as Starmer getting out among the people - like Rory Stewart and his walking - and engaging with them is bizarre and false. How stupid do Labour think people are?

The problem for Starmer and co is the glaring similarities between what they said about the Tories and what they do themselves. It gives the, very unfortunate, impression that they are all as bad, venal and grasping as each other.
It’s also going to make the imposed austerity harder as people know that ‘we aren’t all in this together’ and that their leaders are living it up at football, gigs, flights, free clothes etc all funded by the taxpayer or by rich cronies buying influence. ‘Do as we say, and not as we do’, typical middle class cunts….

Starmer appears stunned everytime someone asks him a question and then affronted that he is expected to provide an answer.

I think one thing they don't seem to understand is that this is the case to a large degree regardless of who actually pays for it. Buying twenty grands worth of clothes or glasses that cost a grand or executive boxes at the football might be normal stuff for a KC but it's not normal for a normal person is it.

Laughable now that he was once marketed by the centrists as being 'forensic'

Bang on.
These lot always massively overrate themselves don’t they? I’ve known shop stewards, anti fascists and working class community activists miles savvier, better communicators and a million times more compelling that this dripping tap..

Just on Grangemouth by the way, this is well worth a read.
Grangemouth should be nationalised by UK Government, local MP says
Brian Leishman said what happened to miners four decades ago is now happening to workers at Scotland's last oil refinery.
I’ve been amazed at the lack of coverage and interest in the closure of Grangemouth. If the promises made by Starmer, Miliband and Scottish Labour of a just transition to green manufacturing aren't fulfilled then essentially Labour are treating oil and gas workers in the same way that Thatcher treated the miners and steelworkers.
it is fairly predictably being used by people right across the political spectrum.

What you lot don't realise is that Starmer would actually much rather be in his normal seat than in an executive box, and that he's actually saving the taxpayer money by moving

Also he can't pay for his own glasses in case he cuts himself on his credit card.

So, you think that we should have a Prime Minister who can't see properly? Don't you know that wars have started because leaders have worn only cheap glasses, that misted up at crucial moments? You want to send the Leader of this Land of Ours into the Conference Chamber blind?Also he can't pay for his own glasses in case he cuts himself on his credit card.

I was going to add that.
You think that our Prime Minister should meet World Leaders clad in a pair of old jeans and a tee-shirt, with an off-the-peg pair of glasses from Poundland held together wit sellotape?

The Labour Party's earlier line was that the public didnt care about these things
Sir Keir Starmer, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and Chancellor Rachel Reeves will not accept any further donations for clothing after a row over donations, a Downing Street source has said.
The prime minster has been embroiled in a growing controversy after it emerged he had repeatedly accepted gifts including sunglasses, tailoring and personal shopping for his wife from Labour peer Waheed Alli.
The Financial Times has reported that Ms Rayner and Ms Reeves declared thousands of pounds in work clothing from wealthy donors as general office support.
