Housewife and mother to four young children, Claire Reynolds, a former Tameside Labour councillor and the wife of Jonathan Reynolds, Labour's Business and Trade Secretary, has been appointed as Sir Keir Starmer-oids political director in Downing Street. As a self-proclaimed holy roller and church goer, Jonathan Reynolds will be familiar with Matthew 7.7, which says: "Ask, and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you."

When Labour was in opposition, Starmer-oid a former Trotskyist, promised to restore trust in British politics and to end Tory sleaze and cronyism. In the House of Commons, self-righteous Starmer-oid, constantly berated the former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson, for his free wall paper in Downing Street and was incensed that Lord Bamford of JCB, had helped with the expenses for Boris's wedding reception. Despite his promises, we now know that Starmer-oid and his wife, Lady Victoria Sponger, received free gear and gifts from the wealthy gay Asian business man, Lord Waheed Alli. The Labour prime minister also received free designer glasses from Lord Alli and the use of his penthouse in Covent Garden. He also received free tickets for Taylor Swift concerts and Arsenal football matches.

It was recently disclosed that Labour was offering people the opportunity to take breakfast with Jonathan Reynolds at the Ivy restaurant in Manchester, for the sum of £30,000. It was dubbed by the press, "cash for croissants." When asked for a comment about this arrangement, Reynolds incredulously denied any knowledge of it. However, the Business and Trade Secretary has defended MPs taking 'freebies', saying that they are not perks of the job of being an MP, but part of the job of being an MP.

Reynolds sense of self entitlement and privilege, will fill many people with loathing and disgust, as he voted to take the winter fuel allowance off many of his elderly constituents in Tameside. Yet, the Bible also says, "To him that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath."

Personally, I think that the English novelist Charles Dickens had politicians and politics well sussed out. He came to the conclusion that the "average politician was a windbag, a time-server, a flunkey, and a self-seeker, and that the triumph of any party, merely benefitted a (political) class."
