What is the first serious Labour scandal gonna be?

[frogwoman]

See poll. Thread title is hopefully self explanatory

I don't mean KS would necessarily be involved himself, but what would the first scandal be that could seriously taint Labour's image?

 

[bemused]

Angela dyes her hair.

When they start nationalising all farms over 20 hectares next week some land will be allocated to party workers.

 

[Boris Sprinkler]

They’ve already had Jared O Mara

 

[Boris Sprinkler]

I would say Israeli lobbying.

Yeah I know, I wrote that as an example of the type of scandal i meant.

 

[andysays]

Traditionally, Tory scandals are about sex, and Labour scandals are about money.

So if Starmer really wants to emulate the Tories, he needs to be involved in a juicy sex scandal.

You got anyone in mind?

Keir Starmer is the bastard love child of John Major and Edwina Currie.

Wasn't aware it'd already come out. When was this?

I'll leave that for others to suggest...

 

[Pickman's model]

There wax that lp member nicked some days ago I'm connection with sexting/blackmail

 

[StoneRoad]

Wasn't aware it'd already come out. When was this?

the affair between JM & EC - in 2002 when EC published diaries for the 1987-92 period ...
[see EC's wiki page]
I'm not aware of anything else ...

Israel, NHS privatisations or maybe some corruption shit show with Thames Water.

 

[Serge Forward]

Bribes from private health companies in exchange for fucking up the NHS even further.... oh, wait... Labour's Wes Streeting takes £175k from donors linked to private health firms

Though to be fair to Craven Wes, he'd likely fuck up the NHS whether or not he was taking bungs - that's just how he rolls

 

[Lord Camomile]

Even money it's Luke Akehurst?

Are any of those actually gonna be really damaging though?

 

[Jennaonthebeach]

We'll find out unelected former Labour prime minster and his unelected henchmen are really pulling Starmer's strings and funded by Israeli money. Oh wait....

 

[DotCommunist]

Mandleson will now feel he has ascended to God like powers an gets caught moving dodgy money or property for access but because this isn't the 90s he just brazens itt out for 2. 5 months and it makes an archly written bit of tittle tattle in private eye

 

[Riklet]

I mean it will take a lot to beat the Tory scandals so probably not really.

 

[Balbi]

The cool thing about all these new MPs is that some of them are going to have absolute horrors.

 

[JimW]

Starmer secretly has a personality that's been living it large in Magaluf all these years.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Hopefully it'll be people asking who the shady fuckers funding labour actually are and what they're getting for their money.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Even money it's Luke Akehurst?

I mean most of the shit on him is already a matter of public record and yet there he fucking is just the same.

Priti Patel got caught acting as an honest-to-god Israeli agent and she just got parked on the subs bench for about three months and then promoted.

 

[Bus Honeygun]

Arsenal start winning everything and getting every contentious referee decision whilst Sir Keir looks on imperiously from the directors box dressed in military uniform and wearing mirror shades.

I was going to suggest the new MP for Leicester East givn that they had Claudia Webhe and Keith Vaz in recent succession and both were running against Labour on Thursday. However, Labour lost the seat to the Tories.

Neil Coyle will inevitably cause another scandal, which will lead to a recall petition resulting in Peter Tatchell becoming the 73 Liberal Democrat MP.

I'd forgotten about Barry Gardiner who took £500,000 from the Chinese is a supporter of Modi.

Gardiner and Gujarat: how a "left" Labour MP defended genocide

I hope readers were sad to be reminded, or shocked to learn, of the vicious anti-Muslim pogroms in Gujarat in 2002 (Solidarity 626). There is a supplementary fact, connected to the UK, that is also shocking (in a more minor key).

Fawn, fawn; lick, lick:


Absolute shameless shittery.



He was in Russia when he made the broadcast above, presumably sorting out his son's spell playing for FC Zenit St. Petersburg.

Zenith signed Jacob Gabriel Gardiner-Smith son of British politician

FC Zenit St.Petersburg signed a contract with Britain's Jacob Gabriel Gardiner-Smith. A transfer of the 19-year-old half back immediately attracted huge attention due to three intriguing points

I think expenses could be an issue.

Just looking at Angela Raynor ..

---

ANGELA RAYNER As well as a £81,900 salary, Ms Rayner claimed £191,200 in expenses. Of this, £137,000 was spent on staff, while £18,100 was spent on her office and £30,000 was spent on rental accommodation in London. Ms Rayner almost spent £5,700 on travel and subsistence while travelling, plus £300 on other costs.

So her salary was £81,900 and her expenses were £191,200 making a total cost of £273,100

If they all (all MPs) behaved like that, there are 650 MPs. 650 x 273,100 makes £177,515,000.00

That is one hundred and seventy seven million, five hundred and fifteen thousand pounds!
