Anonymous We have a Horse-bolted-stable moment from Keir Starmer. Starmer is to repay (a fraction of the) money for the gifts and hospitality he has received but only since becoming the prime minister, following a backlash over donations. (mostly from both the Tory media and also the public). He has also committed to tightening the rules around ministerial hospitality to improve transparency. ( Had these freebies and donations not been highlighted by the media as a scandal then he, Starmer, would not have considered making these so called new ‘rules’ which now will allegedly limit and restrict benefits he once enjoyed as the Labour leader and others too in his party).
