"They're all the same."
Sleaze is a sliding scale. Often it starts small, and appears innocent. The problem is that the "gifts" get bigger. The recipient starts to feel entitled to the perks coming their way. Labour promised to end this. That's why people are disappointed by the clothes, football matches and the specs. 1/
Taking the donation to the party after the dinner is still ok for him though? Charlatan!
I don’t care about the dinner. I DO care that he intervened in a planning process to save Desmond £45,000,000 on his development, whilst the Tory Party accepted his donations. That £45 million could have built hundreds of social homes. THAT is sleaze. www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-mone...
Conservatives accused of being ‘in hock’ to developers as donations from property and construction soars amid ‘cash for access’ accusations against housing secretary Robert Jenrick.
Sad to say most of the media have ‘moved on’ from this profoundly sordid tale, that is if they were ever ‘on it’ in the first place.
Regrets getting caught ?
Jenrick is slime in a suit… it’s why he’s the favourite to become the new Tory leader.
A purity grade of final boss sleaze, even a FIFA board member would switch back to Tetris! 👌
Who wrote this utter BS! What really happened about this situation? Desmond donated £12K soon after but if you saved me £40M how much would I really give & how? What a load of corrupt fraudulent parasitic AHs!
But Mrs Starmer’s free clothes……..
