failing to understand the rules... again.

[Mrs Ten Names]

He's making Truss' honeymoon period look like a long and glorious one.

He's got 4¾ years to turn it around, so he's not concerned with popularity.
There's no chance of a No Confidence vote. The only danger will be from within the party.

Boris?

That, of course, is not true.

You do love a strawman

Are logical fallacies part of your lawyer training?


It’s not about whether he or she can afford it, it’s about fashion designers and brands looking for opportunities for publicity………very different from the guy who gave Boris £100k for his flat refurb, that’s blatant cash for political influence

I’m not the one arguing that MPs need a clothing allowance when they are among the top 10% earners in the country and ministers, just about scrape in to the top 5%.

It’s a ridiculous argument.

A clothing allowance levels the playing field for all MPs.

How can a current Labour Peer gain any additional influence?

The cynical view is by betting heavily on the winning horse

Another strawman

You never mentioned a clothing allowance

You said they should be to afford clothes on their salary…..but the free clothes are given because the designers / brands do it for marketing, nothing to do with whether they can afford it or not.

It's got a ring to it.

Keep it to three words, else the RWR will struggle.

 

[ellal]

Let's face it, power brings temptation to get 'freebies' when offered...

It doesn't matter which colour of party MP's belong to...

And I'm sure that quite a few on here would go along with that due to their attitude of 'playing the system'/fraud...

So where are their role models? Parliament!

Why do you feel there is a need to level the playing field?

The horse has already won, therefore no further bets allowed.

As you are making such a fuss about (only, see below) Labour ministers receiving free clothes, a clothing allowance for all MPs would mean all MPs are entitled to the same allowance. Thus, if it was genuinely about 'affordability' or 'gifts for influence' there would be a level playing field for all MPs. Ergo, no influence could be gained with 'free gifts',

But Conservative MPs have also significantly benefited in gifts from wealthy benefactors – 141 Tory MPs received £359,891 in free gifts, including tickets paid for by the water industry and thousands of pounds of clay-pigeon shoots and helicopter rides from wealthy donors, according to Observer analysis. In the same period, 118 Labour MPs netted £298,151 worth of gifts.

Revealed: MPs accepted more than £700,000 in free gifts and hospitality last year

Furore over freebies like tickets to Taylor Swift concerts and football games has led to calls for reform to MPs’ gift declarations and an overhaul of the ministerial code

Thus, it's a proven point that you are only using the free gifts to Labour ministers as a convenient football.
An alternative, to prevent your political football, in the future, is to have a clothing allowance for all MPs.

We all have our own opinions, ideas and political views. We don't need to concur or agree.
