  1. 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.

  2. 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. 😐

  3. 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!

  4. So ARROGANT!

  5. He's changing everything to SUIT himself! AND EVERY CHANGE IS HORRIBLE!

  6. 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!!

  7. What’s six Thousand when he’s got Millions 😡

  8. He’s corrupt. Worse he’s a hypocrite after pillorying Boris taking more money for trivial matters from a suspect individual.

  9. Used tax payers money I bet

  10. Wgeres the rest of the monies !!!

  11. Bribery is corruption. It is taking in material gains in exchange for granting a favor.

  12. He got the go ahead from his sugar daddy to make this announcement

  13. So hes got no principles then.

  14. What about the rest you hypocrite

  15. ‘fORgiVe mE pRiME miNisTEr’
    😂🤣😂
    what an absolute goonshow

  16. 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.

  17. Free Gear Keir

  18. This scumbag should be in prison not number 10. A absolute lowlife.

  19. Still can’t believe Starmer was so naive

  20. What a total embarrassment! We need a vote of no confidence this man needs to go!

  21. 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 !!

  22. 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.

  23. Get this guy gone

  24. RUBBISH RUBBISH RUBBISH RUBBISH.

  25. STARMER was caught in double bed wirh his boyfriend DARK LORDSHIP "LORD" ALLI his money provider.. The question is what was exchanged in return for Dark Alley,s money

  26. Even a waiter is NOT allowed to accept gifts from the guests.

  27. What sort of man gives another man £100,000 worth of gifts? Lord Ali is Keir Starmer's Sugar Daddy.

  28. Everybody needs to vote the labour councillors out on 7 May 2026 send a clear message

  29. £6000 …out of £168,000 in bribes … So can I rob a bank of £25,000 ..then give back a tenner and nothing happens ?

  30. Imagine being so corrupt you take bribes then get to pay back 1% of bribes as a gesture… Corrupt politicians

  31. War Criminal

  32. Already the worst PM ever

  33. So brave. Politicians writing their own exploitative charter 👏🤡👍

  34. 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.

  35. What about the othet £120,000+ eh.
    Corrupt criminal

  36. Caught with his hand in the cookie jar, now trying to justify it 😂

  37. Slimey starmer.
