One can’t blame algorithms for that.

So why is 'Comrade' Shyster acting like one!Who said Stammer was Left? He's at least Centre, possibly Right. Just because he's to the left of the Tories doesn't make him left. Remember when he kicked a load of Left Wing Labour MPs out to move the party right so that they would have the same kind of appeal as Blair? Any party that wants to win in this country has to be on the right, because years of Tory abuse has made us all that bit more selfish in order to get by.
No. One blames onesself, for listening only to what echoes and confirms one's innate views.I think listening to LBC in the afternoon is a choice.

If you just mean wealthy economies then you are wrong.But successful economies benefit the poor.
You seem remarkably incurious about where this largesse which has been accepted, particularly by Starmer from vested interests. The election was touted as a 'watershed' - a new sleaze-free era of ethical and responsible government.it is al about equivalence
the right wing media is busy claiming Labour are the same as the Tories.........they arent theres no equivalence
do you have specific details?
accepting glasses, football tickets, clothes, concert tickets doesnt seem like vested interests to me, who supplied these?
details are important
Conservatives took donations from Shell, BP, Russian Oligarchs, Betting shops, private healthcare etc .............if it is those, then that is wrong.
I know hedge fund managers have given money to Labour, but not sure what leverage they would want.
I would argue she was a target and needed protection
seems like a Daily Mail attack to me
I disagree, the right wing media are screaming about Labour who followed the rules whilst excuse Tories for breaking the rules
details matter
Also incurious about the loss of membership funding, which Starmer hopes to make up for by funding from business and financial interests.You seem remarkably incurious about where this largesse which has been accepted, particularly by Starmer from vested interests.

I'd be careful with that one; even the Tories are smart enough to know that the NHS is very popular with the British public, so explicit privatisation would be a vote-loser. Largely what's happened is subtle; with parts being quietly sold off (e.g. private companies such as Virgin Healthcare getting awarded large contracts to run parts of the service that were previously done in house). Another tactic has been the slow replacement of full time staff with private contract resource. The water in the pot is being raised in temperature very slowly - so the frog doesn't realise it's being boiled.. until it's too late.The Tories of the last 14 years are not remotely far right. Had that been the case - perhaps the NHS would by now have been largely dismantled with insurance based private healthcare in its place - spend in real terms increased by 35%, staff by 30%.
I have to admit I've been disappointed with the news that Starmer et al have been accepting said gifts; not specifically because they're evidence of major corruption - more just naivety.You seem remarkably incurious about where this largesse which has been accepted, particularly by Starmer from vested interests.

Underground drivers are going on strike yet again.As things keep emerging, we don't know the full extent of the starmer gang's corruption yet. We do know that the train drivers really deserved a huge pay rise and that all pensioners are too rich.
I can't dignify that nonsense with a meaningful response,Sorry have startled you with that revelation but it's a mistake to think that boards make decisions that simply maximise the return for their shareholder. There are plenty of examples such as not taking the maximum support during COVID or making charitable donations which recognise doing the right thing builds long term value.
No directors were voted out and the major shareholders who were represented on the board fully bought into the decision.
That's a view I can't agree with.Accepting a few event tickets and the odd bit of clothing however has very little in the way of benefit, but can still easily look as though you're being bought. It more just strikes me as poor judgement - either be fully corrupt and profit from it, or simply refuse to receive any freebies (in order to remove any chance of accusations of impropriety).
Fair point - I hadn't realised it's topped £100k in value. The last figures I saw were just a few thousand.That's a view I can't agree with.
Well over £100,000 is hardly "a few event tickets and the odd bit of clothing". But of course as Starmer said in interview he "wouldn't be able to take his boy to a football match" otherwise..... Oh poor fella I forgot he's a working man and can't afford to buy his own tickets in contrast to the vast majority of genuine fans who scrimp and save to go to matches. Plus of course he has to bribe his missus with new free clothes as well.
How on earth does the above have "very little benefit"? That's just laughable, how much have you spent on clothes recently and if you received them as gifts as part of your employment/self employment they would be liable to tax.
If it walks and quacks like a duck it's a bl.oo.dy duck.
Bl**dy ****.Weirdest and most sinister suggestion of the week was Streeting, on injections for the over-weight to get them back into work. Might as well inject hallucinogens at the same time so they enjoy it too!
Very futuristic, like cattle farming to provide workers. What next, a breeding programme?

If you're so inclined, I can understand the attraction of getting the proverbial brown envelope stuffed with cash (it's corrupt, but it's "worth it"). Accepting a few event tickets and the odd bit of clothing however has very little in the way of benefit, but can still easily look as though you're being bought. It more just strikes me as poor judgement - either be fully corrupt and profit from it, or simply refuse to receive any freebies (in order to remove any chance of accusations of impropriety).
Well over £100,000 and still counting Sploo which puts him in the same league as some of the Tory MPs in my book along with Sturgeon in Scotland.Fair point - I hadn't realised it's topped £100k in value. The last figures I saw were just a few thousand.
Marvellous! Any unsolicited surprise pay rises?Sorry have startled you with that revelation but it's a mistake to think that boards make decisions that simply maximise the return for their shareholder.
