    No, we like focusing on the lives of wonky MPs.
  • @tatata1543
    What is also scandalous is that this guy effectively bought his chance at being an MP. Paid 100k then parachuted in to a constituency and yet we have to listen to this awful woman witter on about integrity and honesty. The only difference between them and the Tories is they Labour haven’t been in government and await their turn to get their nose in the trough. Incidentally, has Wes the weasel returned the 40k this guy gave him?

    Kier Starmer 'straight forward and honest' nearly choked on my biscuit😅😅 and my coffee came out of my nose
  • @mickb1471
    They just get crazier not one talks sense😂😂
  • @dftfire
    So in the Tories we have "insider trading" (allegations of people knowing the date of the GE before anyone else), and in Labour "bet fixing" (a candidate betting on theirself that they would lose, which is clearly something they can directly influence)? 🤔
  • @deano_bites
    All we hear is scandals now with tory and labour
  • @Uberkoolsound
    How can anyone be allowed to bet on themselves losing 😂
  • Labour change the health service. I've been waiting for a double knee replacement in Welsh run Labour NHS for seven years. Labour are a joke.
  • @RaRa-eu9mw
    Labour and Conservatives are exactly the same!
  • @msagoo29
    Keir said Labour is the part of credibility lol. The pro pally independents seem to be challenging Labour seats like Wes Streetings - things about to get interesting.
  • @colemantv8344
    Liz Kendall needs serious PR and media training because any time she is questioned about anything she seems to get angry and shouty
  • @T5Zplayer
    Can somebody remind me what SkyBet does for a living?
  • The uniparty corrupt to the core Dont tell me keir "didnt know" like Jimmy Savile.
