Reynolds defends Sir Keir Cadger and Lady Victoria Sponger taking freebies!

 


Labour's deputy prime minister, Angela Rayner, says that she doesn't believe that she broke Parliamentary rules when she stayed five nights buckshee at Lord Waheed Ali's luxurious New York flat with her 'soulmate' and swain, Sam Tarry. Rayner declared only £1,250.00 for staying for five nights at the luxury apartment in Manhattan. Rayner told the BBC interviewer Laura Kuenssberg that all MP's are on the take and accept freebie gifts from wealthy donors. She told Kuenssberg that donations had been "a feature of our politics for a very long time", with all MPs accepting gifts. When asked if Lord Alli had received anything from her in return for his donations, Rayner said: "I promised nothing and gave him nothing in return."

Angie and the chancellor Rachel 'Freeze' Reeves, also received freebie clothing which they declared as "office support." The Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson, has also defended donations that she received from Lord Alli.

The Labour prime minister Sir Keir Cadger and his wife Lady Victoria Sponger, have also received tens of thousands of pounds of freebie clothing from Lord Alli as well as designer spectacles. The couple have also received free tickets to Taylor Swift concerts and free tickets for Arsenal football matches. Sir Keir has been criticised for failing to declare on time, many of the free gifts and donations the he's received, even though he promised to restore honesty and probity into British politics.

Lord Alli is so generous with his largesse and bounty that you would think that he was a fairy godmother or was running a benevolent society. But we all know that you don't get as rich as Lord Alli by giving your money away. As they say, he owes pays the piper calls the tune.

While sleazy and greedy Labour MPs are being given luxury goods by wealthy benefactors like Lord Alli, they've just voted to make Britain pensioners poorer by taking their winter fuel allowance off them. All three Tameside MPs including Angela Rayner have expressed support for the measure and voted in favour of means-testing the winter fuel allowance.

Business Secretary, Jonathan Reynolds, the MP for Stalybridge & Hyde, defended Sir Keir taking over £100,000 in gifts and donations since December 2019 including £698-worth of Coldplay tickets in Manchester. Reynolds told Times Radio that accepting 'hospitality' "is not a perk of the job, it's part of the job." He added that hard-working politicians were entitled to "a bit of relaxation."
