A drop in the ocean of the available trough plunder? Will re-appear as something else to be grabbed? Their level of probity is off scale. Two Tier, oh dear more like Ten Tier?

Dave-G Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 (edited) That smug way its been worded suggests to me they'll still take gifts other than clothing. If they think people will be hoodwinked by that they are even dimmer, shallower and smarmy than I thought.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted September 22 Author Report Share Posted September 22 And now Lisa Nandy wades in to the debate; https://www.aol.co.uk/news/nandy-says-government-shares-public-085314546.html "Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said it was important to demonstrate the Government’s priorities are “the country’s priorities” after it emerged on the eve of Labour’s annual gathering that clothing donations would no longer be accepted by the Prime Minister and his top brass. Neither Sir Keir Starmer, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner nor Chancellor Rachel Reeves will accept such donations in the future."
