Do you think she walked into his office and said “Hello, I’m a Chinese spy and would like to buy some influence?”

Having said that, Gapes is a bit of a tw*t anyway.

Starmer needs to resign over this issue, the odious toad.

It throws up the whole issue of how our democracy can be paid for by private and foreign interests. Whether it's the Chinese trying to buy political influence through, erm, Barry Gardner ( :~ ), or the Russians and Saudis doing the same with Tory MPs. And the same with corporate donations. Money compromises.

I'm also uncomfortable with how much land and property is owned by foreign interests. Often by corporate entities hiding behind nominee directorships on offshore tax havens. That gives them power and control over us while remaining out of reach of our institutions.

It's ok though, it's been explained that is was work and not a party, though some are saying rules are rules...

I'm starting to wonder, though, if Westminster has a drink problem.

As a country we've kind of told the world how to behave in a democratic country and the more I see and hear the more I see us slipping in to corrupt system/country. Its not what I want to see.

Absolutely no chance in hell of that being true. I'd even let him have the first punch for free.

Personally I think Labour need go win Scotland back to stand a chance of being in government.
England is more Conservative and the SNP are doing a good job of keeping the Conservatives in power thus ensuring no independence for Scotland.
Labour can not do any deals with the SNP because it would strengthen the SNP and ironically the only way the SNP can stop the conservatives is to lose.
But everyones self serving nature probits this and labour can not afford an independent scotland so that is why I think they need to win scotland 1st.

Why didn't Labour have a lockdown Christmas party?

Because they had nothing to celebrate.

All of that.

Although you very sensibly left out a few other states and only named the Russians and Saudis.

f*** 'em. What are they going to do ? Take the land and buildings away with them? If our Government has any stones at all they'd just seize it all for the common good.

Or - simply introduce punitive land / property taxes on all assets NOT owned by onshore, tax-paying entities with full transparency. Say, 10% of value p.a. Failure to pay means the asset is forfeit to the state.

Well, quite. But while they cannot take the physical assets away, they can exert considerable control and influence over commercial and residential tenancies, because current company law and landlord and tenant law does not provide any additional layers of protection.

Is today the day that starmer the jellyfish will refer himself for investigation over his rule breaking drinks during lockdown when NO ONE was allowed to socialise indoors. Will he follow the example of the PM or will he continue to show zero backbone over anything?

I see an enquiry is being held in to Barry gardener and his activities. This should be interesting.

It's a complete false equivalence but https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailym ... armer.html

Obviously not remotely comparable to the stuff coming out from government.
