"Complicity Among Journalists!" | Alex Phillips Questions Keir Starmer & Lord Alli Relationship

[@Coyb1866]

The mayor of London has got his beak in every freebie he can get his grubby paws on.

[@KKeebeeB]

Excellent point

[@hirepgym6913]

They wanted to upskirt Taylor Swift they are very a Sic bunch

[@markm-ci6rj]

Because she was only in danger when in the car. It is like Sadiq Khan who needs a bullet proof Range Rover then goes walking round in the street, but all politicians do this, so does royalty

[@LynnBygrave]

Exactly. When he goes to watch football, he has been given a box because he can't go in the stands because of security. Well, if he is that concerned, he shouldn't have gone to Taylor Swifts concert. How come she gets protection paid by taxpayers' money, and yet Prince Harry has to pay for it himself. That's not right. He's more entitled to the protection than her.

[@wordwordful]

No shame. NO Integrity Corruption on show.

[@johnsmith-es7zk]

The message here is that if you shower Labour with gifts you can get whatever you want. If you pay taxes and NI you just get ripped off.

You can fake being "a nice man." You can't fake being honest.

[@timwingham8952]

Two tier authority AGAIN. Cronyism AGAIN. Blue light escort for a pop star. You couldn't make it up. If the threat was so great that even Swift's transit was under threat, then the actual concert must have been a non starter. The reality is it stinks. AGAIN.

[@garryworthington1334]

Brilliantly said Alex 🇬🇧

[@yvonneevie9301]

Does Taylor not earn enough to pay for her own security? However, the amount of freebies being thrown around, you don't get anything for nothing there is always something wanted in return. I, for one, am absolutely fed up of this cover up by the media not reporting the truth, it's what we. the public. deserve at the end of the day.

[@johnpearson467]

How much has Ed Milliband had in freebies. I hope he has a heat pump, solar panels and an electric car not funded by freebies. He would then understand that in the winter there is insufficient electricity generated in the winter.

[@robinburn4974]

He actually turned down some freebies, mind they were bacon sandwiches

What are these old men going to see Taylor Swift 😢 give the tickets to a charity

[@mariachester950]

Well said.. thesetickets could have earned a mint given to any charity....but why is starmer and wife ..going...??..dreadful...pair..

[@running-n1c]

never mind the labour party should all been given a one way tickets out of the county

[@logothaironsides2942]

Love that analogy around 8.30 minutes in. You have to wonder whether the tickets came before or after the security was given. If before , it was a sweetener, if after, it was a bargain between them which is basically a payment for services rendered.

[@JulianButterworth-ff1ii]

Alex, I have been saying for years. In the past MP’s where statesmen and women. They had experience of owning or running businesses or financial institutions along with having their passion for making good for the country. None, absolutely none of them from all parties are interested. Their only interest is getting elected and earning over £500k for the term of being elected. Most of which have all but zero experience and knowledge in what is required to help govern our country. “Free loaders

[@Grandmagray-i3j]

I totally agree. The calibre of people in Government is extremely poor. Angela Rayner with her NVQ in care and no other qualifications is DepPM earning £96000 p.a. It's an absolute joke!! There needs to be legislation that a cabinet member has to have experience in business and the relevant qualifications of PPE, MBA ect. We have a load of numpties freeloading who couldn't run a coffee shop!!!

[@Grandmagray-i3j]

Totally agree. There should be a requirement that for a cabinet post ministers have to be educated in either PPE, MBA, Economics etc and have experience in business. No more NVQs in care like Angela Rayner earning £96000+ freebies per year!!!

[@danielrayner7681]

Everyday I hear more and more stories about how sleezy our politicians are and everyday I think there is only one man who can help us, Guy Fawkes

[@johndutton9739]

Pay politicians better??? They are on 100k plus 200k expenses!! We taxpayers are paying an obscene £130m a year for 650 people who won’t even attend Parliament to answer questions about vax injuries but vote overwhelmingly to take £300 a year of little old pensioners 😡😡😡

[@mariachester950]

Absolutely ridiculous. This singer gets more attention and publicity, as our late queen. Government get a grip and stop acting as though you are entertainment agencies.

[@watchmakersp9935]

Greed Greed and greed; and of course taking valuable police resources in a city that rife with knife crime etc. : and if MP's are paid better (pay more these clueless MP's???) it still would not stop them wanting freebies due to their self - entitlement.!!!

[@michaeloconnor9465]

A prospective MP Labour MP is asked why does he wants to be a Labour MP. He/She answers for the freebies. The constituency replies that you will fit right in. Congratulations, you are now selected to stand as a Labour MP and all the freebies you can carry

[@paulineivison9973]

The look on Alex face listening to the blurb spouting from O’Sullivan re his Wife’s help from Lord Alli, does not show she is convinced that Alli is a “lovely Guy”. There are times when I look upon O’S as a 1st rate plonker. Certainly not in the same league as, for example Mike Graham.

[@davelegard770]

I'm I the only one to research what Starmer said about his uncle being torpedoed in the Falklands. Fact is, no British ship was torpedoed during the Falklands conflict. Maybe I'm wrong , and he meant to a missile attack.
