She said have a ban on gifts but also transparency. Which one is if ??
We could do with a ban on party's campaining on foreign issue's like Gaza.
Simple. No party donations. NEXT.
There were no ‘Open Borders’ under the EU because of the Dublin agreement. It was The Brexit Party AKA Reform who created the migration problem. Go to the National Office for Statistics for the data.
They won’t do anything except leave more loopholes ai when their no longer in power they’ll be able to get same handouts from donors…their all doing it
Liebour don’t take donations then 🤔
Fruitcakes and loonies it was once. At the end of the day name calling doesn’t prevent election wins.
Her description of the Reform candidates is basically Nigel Farage's mini-me army.
I understand the 5 million was for his security because the government wouldn’t give it.
I stopped listening when she said clean up British politics. Everything else will follow that lie.
The lefties have had their go now for decades, let someone else try but no they want to hold on to power like dictators whilst calling other fascists etc. 😂
In other words, vote Reform
Oh and Starmer “has surrounded himself with the best bunch of people”?
Most of his cabinet is a dead loss.
Labour calling it out now another party gets larger donations than them ! Cannot wait for this party to evaporate from British memory.
Why do Labour always say Reform are the party of division, but Labour can't speak about any other political party without being divisive, name calling and mud slinging. Hardly a description on diplomacy.
Oh look a Temu politician. She is never in her constituency and all services have got worse in swindon. Jopefully it will be bye bye Heide.
The Labour Party is one of the biggest receivers of donations from millionaires.
Why didn't he get government protection?
What about all the funding to the Labour government from The Unions ? Not all members support Labour.
Poundshop 😅
This is not easy, why??
If he would have gave the money to any other party,they wouldn't be calling for the ban, its only the fact he gave ut to Reform.
Clean up your own house first, darlin , that could take a lifetime
All politicians are self-serving. All getting rich off the public purse.
LOL
Insert the phrase, "so nobody can stand against Labour," after her first sentence.
No more of this donation nonsen, it's time to fund political parties from taxpayer. No more lobbying , no more of our politicians representing rich friends interest, work for the public paid for by the public. We can see now.The minimal costs involved. It's time to break the system and change it for something better.
My country was thrown to the dogs 10 years ago, why do we keep throwing?
What a disgrace
The money is for security. Quisling starmer wants Farage attacked. Looks like Rupert Lowe will be needing security as well. Why won't labour protect other politicians.
Clean up British politics 😂😂😂 Liebour has had more dodgy gifts than anyone lol
I'm guessing Harborne is desperate to buy the UK and lose its pound for his crypto.
Why is anyone surprised about a £5 million donation… Why are we pretending to expect politicians not to be corrupt
How about there are Zero donations and every household contributes to each party with a set amount every year
Basically this reply is blah blah blah blah
If you want to clean up 'British Politics' you could start with your own party and PM / cabinet. Didn't the Labour Party get a £4 million donation from 'Offshore, tax haven interests', timed so that it did not have to be declared before the general election? They really only want to 'clean up' other parties donations whilst hiding their own!
Her views on Reform voters is one reason why the local; elections were a disaster for Labour. She is the worste.
Nobody that votes for reform cares if his mate gave him 5 million. It’s not costing us anything as tax payers.
It’s MP’s taking tax payers money on the sly that annoys people
But I bet ya donations from Trade Unions & left wing luvies are ok though? And no i didn't vote Reform before anyone chips in.
We need to sort out the media as well. They are marching country towards Reform with their total lack of scrutiny of Nigel Farage.
Start with the people running the country now
Farage is a threat to the political establishment.
And Starmer gave the French £360m ..
Issue with labour – 140 seat majority. Could introduce a ban with real prison time attached to it. Why do people find Labour so unappealing. This…. this is why.
