And some say MP's are lazy work shirking buggers…

[Mrs Ten Names]

But rather than trying to nitpick, why not address the real issue of wages going backwards

You must be new here.

Mottie approves of massive pay rises for bosses whilst the company is run badly and spends its time trying to,stiff the workers.

Typical Tory

How's Thames Water doing today?

Usual suspects chirping in off topic. Now back to the thread.

Labour MP and ministerial aide Liam Conlon accepted a £4,000 donation from train drivers union Aslef - just months before his department offered it an inflation-busting pay rise.

Isn't this exactly what the usual suspects have been bleating on about for years from the last administration or does it not matter now and KS will make everything perfect.

He got it before he was elected, unions generally support Labour, it's what they do.

KS will make everything perfect.

No one has claimed that.

As Denso (and the article ) says, this donation was before he was elected.

It is understood the donation was made to Mr Conlon soon after he was selected as a Labour candidate for the constituency at the end of last year.

You should read and ensure you understand the contents of the articles that you present before posting insinuations that it was a bribe.

If ks will make everything perfect (which nobody has claimed), you presumably accept the Tories left a mess that badly needs sorting.

The country decided labour was the better choice to do that.

Don't be silly boys and girls this is exactly what you criticized about the last administration. Same grift and cronyism different colour.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

I don't agree with donations to political parties at all. But I don't think you will ever stop it.

But do get the actual facts right......

It's all open and transparent. You might take the view that MP's/prospective MP's should not accept any donations though.

"During the general election, it provided support to Labour candidates in target seats in England, Scotland and Wales, helping create links between the union and future Parliamentarians."

Labour in second civil service job row over party donations

[Andydevon]

No that's just stupid Carmen.

However the persistent attacks from the usual suspects are very quiet now for exactly the same type of appointment / donations. Why is that? Is it OK as they are not Tory's?

PS how much has the labour party received from the unions since 2020?
