The staff member in Keir Starmer’s office joined Starmer’s team in the summer and is listed as an associate director of Grant Thornton, a consultancy firm, where he is selling his knowledge of “politics, government and public policy issues” to corporate clients. The arrangement does not breach any regulations because Labour is not in power, though equivalent roles advising government ministers come with an obligation that holders must not “misuse your official position, for example by using information acquired in the course of your official duties to further your private interests or those of others”.
And it’s a worry of mine that you’re about to hand it straight back to the Conservatives.
This is what I don’t understand about people who are now anti labour for the next election. They do realise that means the tories will win?
if peoples answer to the last decade is more Conservatives in power, we are not just fucked but also unable to recognise that fact
