At least the Tories aimed for higher backhanders than a pair of specs and some new strides.

Why are you repeating your silly comments in multiple threads?

Your comments are silly because you're conflating different issues. The clothing expenses were a specific gift to an individual, not a government expenditure.
As I've already shown, Starmer could have claimed the costs as legitimate expenses. Instead they were funded by a private donor, so the 'funding' is still available for blankets for the needy.

he was late in declaring it, and it was not like he did not know the rules - he very publicly told them to Boris

the whole thing stinks of hypocrisy

No inquiry into undeclared gifts for Starmer's wife, say No10

The PM insisted "rules are being followed" after clothing for his wife was not initially declared.

rich unelected donor to the labour party given free pass to downing street - just sounds like another day under the torries
 
"Labour promised change, but in 10 short weeks all they've delivered is a change of clothes for themselves."

Yup. Typical socialist.

I will change government policy for a good quality men's jacket. By Keir Starmer

I REALLY need a winter coat, so if you’d like to buy me one – a £950 Canada Goose would allow me to do my job effectively – then pick the law you don’t like.

By Sir Keir Starmer, Labour leader and prime minister of the United Kingdom
I REALLY need a winter coat, so if you’d like to buy me one – a £950 Canada Goose would allow me to do my job effectively – then pick the law you don’t like.
Or choose the policy you’d like to change. This isn’t corruption because it’s simply identifying problems that hadn’t occurred to me until you pointed them out. It’s a consultation exercise.
So there’s the jacket. And a few other necessities, like designer frames, a PlayStation 5 for the kids and Victoria’s circled a number of items from the Stella McCartney autumn collection. That’s very much for the British nation because we’d all prefer she looks nice.
Why can’t I buy my own jacket, given a salary of £167,000 and millions in assets? Because it all adds up. Taylor Swift tickets here, a personal shopper there and suddenly you’re down 50 grand.
And I regret I can’t change literally any government policy you want. Impoverished pensioners can’t club together and get a U-turn on winter fuel by buying me a Harrods hamper.
That would look weak, and that’s the last thing you want when you’re dealing with the poorest and most vulnerable in society. The rich and well-protected, by contrast, I’m happy to cater to the whims of.
If you suddenly find yourself in the newspapers, don’t be concerned. It’s not bribery because bribes are cash, like paying a builder. This is more of a spontaneous gift showing your support for Labour’s traditional working-class values.
And if your values are privatising healthcare, attracting foreign capital or seeing Taylor Swift twice, they might coincidentally turn out to be Labour’s values too. I would like a holiday.
 
Good old Kier. Nick 300 sovs from a pensioner cos times are hard for the treasury but be protected by his own special tax law on pensions.

I don’t think the “tax unregistered” pension scheme had anything to do with Keir Starmer, I believe those rules were set by the Cameron govt.

Although I don’t think he should benefit from such a scheme as it does seem hypocritical
