Diane Abbott: Starmer’s decision to repay gifts ‘makes it look like he did something wrong’

31 comments

1. He only wanted to pay back 30 quid, it's just Abacus Abbott worked out the percentages wrong! ALLEGEDLY!!

2. What a stupid decision to take these gifts. As for his wife staying out of the spotlight. Shouldn't we know more about this women. How much influence might she have over this bloke and his constant lying. His levels of bs is what the focus ought to be on. However, the accepting of gifts from tacky billionaires with ridiculously inflated egos….

3. What about the other £100,000 he's received, he's wealthy has a good salary and will receive two pension's eventually CPS and prime minister's pension, why can't he pay his own way. ?

4. A millionaire taking bribes basically while taking pensioners winter fuel payment. Horrible disgusting man

5. At last Dianne Abbott has said something sensible.!

6. labour has not been in power that long and look how corrupt they are and the damage they have done XD

7. A total Hypocrite .

8. The first time I have ever agreed with Diane Abbot.

9. Well done sherlock 😮

10. Suddenly he's doing the right thing but it's wrong to tax pensioners and to deny them the winter fuel money. Is he now going to reverse that, as it would be the right thing to do. Pensioners got robbed 6 years of retirement. Salaries haven't kept up with inflation for 30 odd years. People are walking out with the same salary that they were paying people 30 odd years ago. Where is the money gone. Not in our pockets. Absolutely shameful this country is.

11. NOW
    That, SAUSAGE is trying to make it up with the Public,the Truth is HE'S not Trusted anymore.
    When in Opposition he was forever acting the Knight in Shining Armour when now everyone knows He & others in New Labour are not nor never were on the LEVEL.
    There is Still something just Not Right.
    And let's NOT forget Britains Aged/Elderly who have been Let Down.

12. Johnson and Sunak also received loads of free gifts from donors when they were PM, they were roundly severely criticized yet there was never the ooh-haa and ballyhoo over theirs rthe way there is with Starmer's and their free gifts both came to much higher value than those of Starmer yet Starmer's is somehow the biggest scandal of the 3 as though there's something sinister about Starmer's free gifts such as dealing with a communist far eastern dictator attached to them. People will mske things up about the gifts if Starmer has a telephone conversation with Chinese President over trade with China and claim It's got a connection with Starmer's free gifts

    He's declared them, it's within the rules. It's a terrible look considering he's pleading tough times, And It's 100% right he's been get severely criticised even savaged but to claim that It's 100 times worse than it is is ridiculous as there's no reported scandal connected with Starmer's gifts.

13. Starmer is just a toff Tory, that has hyjacked the Labour Party.. He kicked out the politicians that fight for the working classes.

14. Although what He did was seemingly within the Westminster rule book and many from the previous Government took the proverbial big time, it took a storm of criticism from an outraged public to make Kier Starmer think twice about his greed. Pre-Election, He gave the distinct impression that He was made of better stuff. It seems He's a poor judge of his own character.

15. If they are taking bribes, and let's be honest, then their pay can go down to £20k per year, and No benefits…..😊😊😊😊

16. The public need to vote on the rules of pay for the front Bench, and another for the back benches,- WE PAY THEIR WAGES…ITS PUBLIC MONEY ! 😊

17. GET STARMER & LABOUR OUT,
    VOTE REFORM UK 🇬🇧 FOR AN HONEST PARTY, WITHOUT LIARS.😊😊😊😊😊

18. Starmer redefines the word hypocrite

19. Starmer will go down in history as the worst ever labour prime minister unfit for the 21st century totally out of touch with the country he governs

20. Getting rid of Boris 💙💙💙💙💙was the biggest mistake this country has ever made and will regret it for the rest of their LIVES!!💙💙💙💙💙

21. sausageman did do something wrong, a REAL hypocrite ..he used to slag off the conservatives for greed but he is WAY WAY WORSE ! unbelievable

22. Is this the real Diane abbott? How is it possible that complete idiots like her can survive in a political party?
    But this time she actually said something sensible.
    Well i never!!!

23. I didnt' think id see the day id be siding with Dianne Abbot

24. How does what he says matter now ? 😮 Harriet they SHOULD NOT need an Blooming Ethics Minister ! More waste of taxes ,If they HAVE no BETTER Moral out look now , ITS HARD CHEDDAR FOR THEM. !!

25. After numerous decades Abbott finally speaks sense .
    For probably the 1st n last time

26. All donations and bribes should be iLLEGAL

27. The man is a liar a hypocrite and he needs to go.

28. Ok let’s be clear on this , the amount of money taken by Starmer amounts to more than one years pension money plus fuel allowance. That’s how sick the lies are coming from no 10 . His lies are criminal deceit. If I had made public any intention that placed me in to no 10 I would now be prosecuted for fraud. Starmer knew this but still went ahead and lied about his intentions to gain public office . That in anyone’s mind is fraud,

29. Not sure if I'm just being dense but please correct me if I'm wrong.
    He was accused of mis-spending tax payers money, he admitted it. Not only that he declared it to the treasury as was policy, just like every prime minister and politician before him. When he second guessed the process and suggested reform, that was used as evidence against him as an admission of guilt.

30. I can’t even bare the sound of his voice

31. Words fail them.
