Labour ‘intensely relaxed’ with corrupt cronyism

“Labour donor bags plum UK Treasury job . Banker Ian Corfield is appointed to a top role in the civil service just months after donating thousands of pounds to Chancellor Rachel Reeves”

So where’s the “Change” here then. As in that “Change” which we were promised from the Labour party if they were elected as the next new UK government .

How is this a “Change” to the corrupt cronyism behaviour that we all witnessed with the Tory party.

Is this appointment by Labour not reminiscent of what we regularly saw happening with the Tory party ?

In May 2022 it was reported by The Guardian newspaper that two donors who gave the Tory party £1 million between them were handed prominent public Health jobs.

So now with Labour as the party in government we have a Déjà vu moment on par with the Tory party in government in that they too are also rewarding their donors with a lucrative return on their investments (Donations to Labour party).

So no “Change” there then from the Labour party (from the previous Tory UK government) is it.

Also been reported in July 2024 that “Labour declared more donations than all other parties combined during the general election campaign, taking more than £9.5m in total“

Now that was formerly something the Tory party excelled at as in they received more donations than other parties .

That was until Sir Keir Starmer convinced more of those ‘money people’ (Wealthy) that he had now transformed what was formerly the old Labour party under Corbyn into the new Red Tory party (Tory party in all but party name).

No wonder they, Labour, swamped social media with so much political ads during their GE campaign as seems they had more than enough money to do so thanks to their vast donations.

Money may indeed talk but it also appears that with Labour talk is cheap as they are failing to act upon that which they ‘talked’ about during their GE campaign in them actually failing to fulfil some of the various pledges they made if elected. ( “Do from day one” I think was a phrase Starmer often used in his campaign speeches yet we are still waiting on action materialising upon some of those promises/pledges he made which he said would be immediate)

Yes we are still waiting for the “Change” and “Fresh start” to begin. As currently all we seem to be getting from Labour so far is the exact same excuses the Tory party used when they were in power . Where they, the Tories, blamed the previous Labour government for the state of the treasury finances and also the run down public services. ( Constant Tit for Tat with the both of them while the public are the ones who must suffer constant bad UK governments with them both using weak excuses and blaming each other for their own failings)

Austerity has begun already and I fear that there is no chance for Waspi women to see justice, even though many Labour MP’s and MSP’s were most vocal during the Tory reign as the UK government, in that they, Labour politicians, demanded justice from the Tories be swiftly served for the Waspi women.

Just as it seems to be there will be no respite or justice for the poorer families who will still have to suffer the Tory instigated and implemented two child benefit cap as the new Labour UK government want to retain it, as they now apparently are, via their actions or rather lack of action, the new Tories in the UK (via words & actions it seems).

Labour party now proving that they, like the Tory party, are ‘Leopards who can’t change their spots” (never mind “Change” how they behave as the new UK government).

  4. Newly elected Labour MP Lauren Edwards who represents Rochester and Strood has ‘wholeheartedly’ apologised for offensive historic tweets she posted in what she has said was an “error of judgement”.

    “In a statement Ms Edwards said: “I have recently been made aware of a small number of tweets that I posted on twitter from over a decade ago, which I now deeply regret.”

    One of the since-deleted tweets posted to X formerly Twitter, in July 2009, read:

    “I want these [expletive] Estonian retards out of my flat now”!

    She also tweeted “Are the cleaners on recess too? My desk has so many coffee rings it looks like Saturn.” ( so she, Ms Edwards, is an MP for the Labour party who, as a party, said in their GE campaign that they were the party for the workers)

    Also another post, which appeared to be responding to an account called Baroness Wrenthorpe, said: “Baroness Wrenthorpe text me from Walthamstow to say he’s seen a halal Pakistani Chinese Grill place. Hope he’s not suggesting we go there.”

    The posts happened while Ms Edwards was working as parliamentary researcher for Barbara Keeley, the then MP for Worsley and Eccles South and also as a researcher for Labour MP’s Teresa Pearce and Lisa Nandy.

    Ms Edwards had also served as a Medway Labour councillor since 2021.

    Labour have declined to comment.

    So in declining to comment I expect that, like the Tory party, we the public are expected to ignore this story and just ‘Move on’.

    So no “Change” there then. (so far that is . Perhaps they need to suspend her as they have suspended others in their party)

    One could argue that ‘well this was years ago she may have changed’ however unfortunately for Ms Edwards she was, at the time that she tweeted these tweets, employed by Labour MP(s) and also subsequent to those tweets she then became a Labour Councillor.

    Need I say that had this been a newly elected SNP MP then what do you think the political and media reaction would be and what consequences would be demanded for using such offensive language even if they were in historic tweets.

    This situation is similar to what we were exposed to with the Tory party who often failed to act appropriately when similar offensive behaviour was exposed via their MP’s .

    I wonder if Ms Edwards is now more tolerant of Estonians , is aware of how offensive the term ‘Retards’ really is, is less rude and racist about non European restaurants in referring nonsensically to one as a “halal Pakistani Chinese Grill place” and is also now far more respectful to those cleaners who have to clean up messes left by people like Ms Edwards and who , as cleaners, are paid a fraction of the money people like Ms Edwards makes.

    True colours shine through on some of the candidates selected by the Labour party in the recent GE via their previous offensive comments made on social media prior to them being selected as a candidate for Labour and then elected as a new Labour MP with one example being this person Ms Edwards.

    Same social media that the MSM and some politicians are currently condemning as being used as a source for some to post offensive and inciteful comments and tweets that resulted in negative and violent reactions via the recent riots we have seen in England.

  6. The first thing Labour does is attack the young and the old. The ones who need the most support. It is beyond belief the incompetence starts right away. The lies and deceit. The broken promises. Violent rioting on the streets and massive prison sentencing. More hardline power on the weak and vulnerable. They will not last very long the way they are carrying on.

    Labour have not got a clue. Clueless and incompetent they are already staggering from crisis to crisis. Scotland has Devolution so can keep the hordes at bay. The hordes of useless Labour unionist politicians mucking up already. There is a better way. Independence. More people who support Independence need to come out and vote for it and stop voting unionist. Or they will not get it. A higher turnout.
