the prime minister was repeatedly asked about the repayment at a press conference in Brussels, in which he said the government was bringing in a new ‘set of principles’ for ministerial donations.

@anyvoicespeaks
Listen, this government is about principles and I've demonstrated clearly to you all that I don't have any and so will arrogantly refuse to answer the question about whether it was wrong of me to accept those donations. Because I am a Tory.

I've got nothing against MPs having freebies even the PM, as long as it's been declared.
It's when it's not, that's the problem.
MP's aren't paid enough, that's why they claim everything.
The PM is on less than £200.000 a year, some footballers are on that a week.
Being PM should have a high salary.
If MPs were paid better maybe we might have better than we have in parliament at the moment. 😐
@lisakeell7343
What a silly sausage 2 tier is, who is your benefactor Sir Tool? You should have gone to Spec Savers, buy one get one free and it would have saved you a lot of controversy!
@juliemaddern
So ARROGANT!

He's changing everything to SUIT himself! AND EVERY CHANGE IS HORRIBLE!
@TheRamblingsofBry
We know, the 'secret' is out, [ANY HOLES A GOAL], we should get rid of him ASAP.
The secret is, someone has been busy with both M and F, the F ended up with a bun in the oven!!
@patienceemm
What’s six Thousand when he’s got Millions 😡
@johnfrancis4401
He’s corrupt. Worse he’s a hypocrite after pillorying Boris taking more money for trivial matters from a suspect individual.
@stephenbrown4211
Used tax payers money I bet
@patsymorgan6282
Wgeres the rest of the monies !!!
@lornacarlos
Bribery is corruption. It is taking in material gains in exchange for granting a favor.
@user-uv6nz9dd6o
He got the go ahead from his sugar daddy to make this announcement

The damage has been done. It may sound off topic but I chanced on this cool translator that does everything and more of what a translator should have, name is Immersive Translate and one thing that can really help is it’s new feature, which lets you create a custom AI expert for translating anything. Thank me later, it's gold.

This scumbag should be in prison not number 10. A absolute lowlife.
@earnestequivocation6250
Still can’t believe Starmer was so naive
@ChristopherWilliams-g8i
What a total embarrassment! We need a vote of no confidence this man needs to go!
@Falstaff1893
He's the poster boy for the Aristocracy £Billionaires who own Labour & on the take like a lot of top politicians who make leeches look like jelly babies !!
@dvidclapperton
Code of conduct is necessary to make these extreme value free gifts illegal.
It's not a case of just Starmer complying or everybody else but Starmer complying. It must be all 650 MP's complying.
@jamesscott3022
Get this guy gone
@LW-dq2em
RUBBISH RUBBISH RUBBISH RUBBISH.

@marcobranco526
Even a waiter is NOT allowed to accept gifts from the guests.
@fredo1070
What sort of man gives another man £100,000 worth of gifts? Lord Ali is Keir Starmer's Sugar Daddy.
@MrCoxy38
Everybody needs to vote the labour councillors out on 7 May 2026 send a clear message
@paulmorgan121
£6000 …out of £168,000 in bribes … So can I rob a bank of £25,000 ..then give back a tenner and nothing happens ?
@paulmorgan121
Imagine being so corrupt you take bribes then get to pay back 1% of bribes as a gesture… Corrupt politicians

@sunnyzc8545
Already the worst PM ever
@stuartburns8657
So brave. Politicians writing their own exploitative charter 👏🤡👍
@rickyroaster
Only repaying because he got caught. Bad enough a day out at the races, but accepting random gifts of glasses and clothes, shows he thought he could get away with it, but us plebs aren't allowed back handers but all these self serving useless flunkies can.
@blackjackmaestro6505
What about the othet £120,000+ eh.
Corrupt criminal
@thehealingzonetrainingcent7277
Caught with his hand in the cookie jar, now trying to justify it 😂
