  1. Yeah that’s how our politics works unfortunately. It won’t of course, but the entire lobbying and donations culture should be banned entirely. They’re bribes and everyone knows it.

  2. Amateurs, let the Tories show you how to rake in billions.

  3. We need to start making stuff like this illegal it’s a clear conflict of interest.

  4. Remember kids – it’s only bad when it’s the evil Tories.

  5. I love the bots intellectual dishonesty here. If it’s wrong for the tories it’s wrong for Labour. Yet the mental gymnastics you pull is incredible. Just admit it’s wrong for all. It doesn’t need to be a yeah but you did it worse childish nonsense.

  6. Look to the US to get an idea of where this type of system leads to.

    There shouldn’t be lobbying in politics where there’s a clear conflict of interest against the public good.

  7. We are so tight on civil servants in terms of freedom of speech, declaring and rejecting gifts, not using social media for political means.

    And then politicians do all of it, to an extreme, and that’s ok?

  8. People elected into office by the people, take bribes and lobby in government for self financial gain, it needs to be banned in its entirety.

  9. Remember, it’s ok when Labour does it.

  10. Gonna say this again and again. Private companies and non UK citizens should not be allowed to donate to a UK political party under any circumstances.

  11. No surprise there, seems to be the way these days, get elected into office and then start raking in the money ( and I don’t mean the salary).

  12. Wow that little? Gone down markedly since the *checks notes* £1.5bn that if used to be three years ago.

    Good job Labour. Now let’s shut the rest down.

  13. Maybe the National should be reporting on the lack of movement in the police investigation into the SNP’s alleged fraudulent activity?

  14.  These are the folks who forced Corbyn out, to steal “Labour” from the working class. It’s disgusting. 

  15. Labour MPs are a lot cheaper than Tory MPs it seems, they’d need another zero on the end

  16. This is chump change, our politicians are really sleazy and cheap.
