| 2. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Mon 23rd Sep 2024. 10:48 The only thing cringeworthy about this whole “scandal” is the fact the media didn’t give a flying f**k about the previous government doing 100x worse in regard to this……. Reply |
| 3. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Mon 23rd Sep 2024. 11:00 Westminster corruption is rife, the "expenses" policy needs a serious reform! Although it was supposed to have been reviewed some years ago, after previous scandals. Was the new Labour MP Douglas Alexander not involved?🤔 Reply |
| 4. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 23rd Sep 2024. 11:19 With all the well-paid advisers political parties have how is it they don`t seem to anticipate the bad publicity that comes from stuff like this and change their behaviour? `Power corrupts` is true I think. Reply |
| 5. Author: Parboiled Date: Mon 23rd Sep 2024. 13:08 I am well aware that this kind of stuff has been going on for years but I expected better from this lot. The lack of judgement and self awareness is appalling. As PM and party leader, Starmer himself should be way above that but he’s as bad as the rest. He didn’t even have the guts to face the cameras yesterday, but sent along his deputy instead Reply |

Author: desparado Date: Mon 23rd Sep 2024. 19:59 Topic Originator: Parboiled Date: Mon 23 Sep 10:42 ..and holidays, apartments, footie private boxes, personal photographer, and free this that and the other and more coming out every day… TV interviews about nothing else, policies and plans completely overshadowed by this self serving greed I voted for this lot of scumbags . Utterly disgusted. I am astonished that you actually believed Labour would be any different ! There is no Labour Party anymore. Labour are only electable because they had to change into….Tories. They may even out do the Tories and that’s saying something. Anybody in Scotland who believes that these wretches in WM actually give a jot about Scotland or the Scottish people are complete fools. Did folks who voted for them really believe the rhetoric? Seriously ? They are pathological liars the lot of them. I thought it might take two or three years for people in Scotland to realise that Labour are no better than the Tories……..it seems it has only taken a matter of weeks. But will we ever learn ? We need out of this Union or we are well and truly f****** What an opportunity we missed in 2014 Post Edited (Mon 23 Sep 20:01) Reply |
| 8. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 23rd Sep 2024. 21:44 The embarrassing thing is there`s no investigation into this yet a throwaway comment about stamps resulted in an investigation into the SNP. I`ve said this many times before but they need to get a grip at Westminster and do the following: - Move out of Westminster, turn it into a museum - Do away with second home allowances - Build a modern, fit for purpose parliament in the North of England. - Build a block of flats for MPs to use next door complete with canteen with the same suppliers used for schools - ALL gifts should be refused - Review of party donations. Dorries openly said the Tories were doing what the the donors wanted. That`s disgusting. When I worked in the private sector we had to justify every single bus/train ticket. This should be the case for MPs. We didn`t get cheap bars or food. We didn`t get discount travel. Reply |
| 9. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Mon 23rd Sep 2024. 23:09 You certainly weren`t allowed "gifts " in the Civil Service! I used to "spend " 2.5 million every quarter, courtesy of the MOD and that was wayback in the early 70`s. Reply |

| 12. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 24th Sep 2024. 16:23 Holyrood is no different really. The ones with the highest expenses tend to be the ones who don`t live a commutable distance from Edinburgh. So if a similar approach was taken to purchases or build a hotel/set of apartments, the need for hotels/apartments/second homes is removed. Perhaps they could build it in Dunfermline so all the MSPs get to enjoy the woeful "service" ScotRail deliver in Fife? It`ll be even better after Friday when the tickets double in price. Reply |
| 13. Author: desparado Date: Tue 24th Sep 2024. 17:09 Holyrood is different. Now there are spongers and dodgy politicians in every government and parliament in the world so in that respect you are right, however WM is stuffed full of politicians that take the utter p*** in the self entitlement stakes. Holyrood remember ( well Scot Gov ) has not awarded its MSP’s a pay rise since 2015. Unthinkable in the cess pit in Londinium. And to think so called intelligent people voted for Labour expecting change…🤣 What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
| 14. Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Tue 24th Sep 2024. 22:53 Did you hear his speech today? Not good enough that Two Tier Keir gets free duds, now he is demanding free sausages? He used to be called Captain Hindsight, well now he is Major Hypocrisy. These clowns are even worse than the Tories.  Reply |
| 15. Author: jake89 Date: Wed 25th Sep 2024. 07:31 Hopes and prayers are with the sausages. We need to cease fire and really grill the perpetrators. In all seriousness, there is an issue in the UK with people falling upwards and that appears to have now affected politicians significantly. Why is Keir Starmer Labour leader? Surely some irony that the previous one was ousted because of his views on Palestine yet now people are actively protesting saying the same things and no-one bats an eyelid. It`s astonishing how much the media controls the narrative and how dense the average Brit has become. Reply |
| 16. Author: ipswichpar Date: Wed 25th Sep 2024. 11:18 Well it`s a complex problem, no matter the position you take there will be a bunch of people who strongly disagree with your point. We're also years down the road, and a lot has happened on both sides. Post Edited (Wed 25 Sep 11:19) Reply |
| 17. Author: Parboiled Date: Wed 25th Sep 2024. 12:58 Over the past 3 years Anas Sarwar was gifted hospitality packages by SRU, SFA for footie and rugby matches also got packages for the Tattoo. All this totalling going on £20k. He’s well paid and missus a dentist, why can’t he pay his own way? Now emerging Starmer accepted £20k luxury accommodation so his son would get peace and quiet to swot for his exams. A helpful blogger has now pointed out those exams were done and dusted before this period of quiet revision… So that’s another porker! Reply |

| 19. Author: jake89 Date: Wed 25th Sep 2024. 14:35 I don`t know where Parboiled lives, but what was the alternative in Dunfermline? Reply |
| 20. Author: red-star-par Date: Wed 25th Sep 2024. 14:58 It`s beginning to look like all politicians from all parties are a bunch of greedy little piggies with their snouts in the trough. In the financial services industry there are extremely strict rules in place regarding what gifts can be offered and accepted to help combat corruption and bribery, it`s about time the same type of rules were rigidly enforced on political parties and politicians. Our own local MP Graham Downie, took an all expenses paid trip to Israel from the lobby group Labour Friends of Israel, which certainly brings into question his impartiality on the genocide taking place in Gaza. Donations to political parties need to be stopped, it`s straight out bribery, the politicians are in the pocket of their paymasters. Reply |
