There is people who have suffered broken bones, amputation,high blood pressure and stroke for having stressful jobs. For stressful or dangerous jobs, with little to show for it in a lot of cases, bascially to put food on the table and clothe their partners and kids.

Is it freebies or did they come from tax payers back pocket like we for MPs salaries?

It is not about some sugar daddy buying him clothes, it is about national security.
A prime minister should not offer free access to downing street, accept *cough* "presents" which may be in exchange for influence, or do anything that makes him susceptible to blackmail.
It is simply not safe for any of us.

On the plus side, it does look as if we can save the fuel payments and bus passes if we have a whip-round and buy him few nice shiny gimp suits to help him focus.

You haven't realised then - that there's a MUCH more serious problem in the UK!

A National Debt of £2.7 TRILLION - on which we pay nearly £2b in interest, a WEEK.


Clothes for politicians are totally irrelevant in the big picture.

Means testing for benefits (including OAP pension) is inevitable.

The same argument can be said about hotels.

Integrity is the main thing, Barney, and everything follows from that.

Honey, the government don't if we live or die. It's all theatre.

repeat.. 1979 (my heyday) and Britain had manageable debt and affordable rents and utilities.

Big difference: the UK owned it's resources.

Then the ghastlies came in headed by Thatcher (met her once..petite woman with superb flawless skin) with this insane notion that "private enterprise" does it best despite the glaring fact that governments of all persuasions build the big projects and are easily able to manage them once built with that big difference..profits are plowed back into the economy to benefit the people.

By today's standards Edward Heath looks like a raging lefty and was the sort of Tory I'd get along with..oddly all my best friends at the time were Tories but real ones.

I think Keir Starmer is the most dreadful politician of modern Britain.

I know the current Tories absolutely deserved to be booted for their incompetent and rotten profiteering but what have they been replaced with?..

definitely the most unpopular PM (33%) of our times who appears to be a shocking hypocrite

Meanwhile in Oz we have a disappointing Labor PM who grew up in council housing with a single Mum who has become a property developer and aids others keeping rents at a shockingly high rate for desperate people.

But less than a year to go to an election. 3 Years go so quickly..5 is an eternity.
