    Stop reporting on this and start reporting on all the Russian money that’s been going to the Conservative Party for the last 15 years. Show this in context, that’s my advice.

      No, don’t stop reporting on this just because the other side is even more dirty. That kind of attitude is partly why we’re in this situation today.

      They should all be held accountable, no matter which party.

      Breaking the rules is still breaking the rules. The guardian can report on both.

        Except starmer hasent.

        He came forward on his own recognisance in the one occation he relised he had. And reported it to parliment.

        The rest of the gifts were all reported and are entirly within the rules.

        The point is that the two are not comparable. I’m not a great fan of starmer or whatever the ‘Labour party’ is today, but claiming starmer’s wife receiving some clothes from a Labour donor is in any way comparable to the Conservative Party accepting large amounts of money from an unfriendly foreign power is fucking nuts.
