    This was my claim

    Starmer has already received more freebies in less than 100 days as PM than Sunak did over his entire tenure

    My data shows that to be an accurate representation of the facts: Starmer has already pocketed more freebies in less than 100 days as PM than Sunak did over his entire tenure - and is rapidly catching up to Liz Truss, too

    It shows nothing of the sort. Your data was 2019 to 2024. And the reason it was so high is that the Leader of the Opposition has to declare everything and the PM doesn't.

    Yeah but to say sausages instead of hostages when talking about something so serious is a pretty big gaffe.

    Yep. The guy who defeated the Tories by a record margin is the bad guy. And the one who lost to them twice is the good one.
    And I prefer Corbyn's policies to Starmer's but if Corbyn had never stood to be Labour leader we would still be in the EU and would never had had Johnson as PM.

    Now let's go through the freebies that we know Starmer's been given since he got in, eh?

    £332,500 alone for his two corporate seats at the Emiroids (and that's a conservative estimate, as I'm using the basement cost of £8,750 per game)

    That alone is more than half of everything Sunak declared between 2019-24

    Acting like a sneering **** makes somebody the bad guy - just like Rachel Reeves was the bad guy when she acted like a sneering **** in the exact same circumstances yesterday

    Especially if they're wearing a £2600 pair of glasses they paid for out of their own pocket (oh wait...) yet can't tell the difference between the words "hostages" and "sausages" when reading an autocue, and that's before the pertinent question of why that was even on there as he was addressing members in Liverpool, not members of Likud

    Oh, and for context...

    Funny how the only time he ever sounds genuine is when he's sneering about people he's been purging from the party for four years, isn't it?

    Absolute bollocks. You are a factor of ten out at least.

    19 x £8,750 = ?

    No seats anywhere are £8,750 per game. The dearest seats at Spurs are less than £20k per season

    And he's been gifted two tickets for one of those boxes

    Also, here's the thing about the £8750 figure: that can and does increase, as the Bottlers' own website makes plain

    Executive Box N5
    £9,990 for the Leicester match
    £14,430 for the PSG match

    Executive Box N7
    £10,950 for the Leicester match
    £15,950 for the PSG match

    Ten games would likely put Starmer clear of £100k. Maybe Sky Sports can run a tracker at the bottom of the screen every game he's seen there so we can keep track of the cost?

    So the value to Starmer is £2k a match tops. They've only had two home matches so the value of freebies is £4k so far. So I was a bit out...you are 80 times wrong.

    Somebody's lying, and the liar is either Arsenal's pricing structure or the guy who claimed he would side with protesters in his leadership manifesto in 2020 yet could only sneer when a demonstrator was being manhandled in front of him this afternoon

    Also, remember he got comped for the NLD at our place

    And we all know who to thank for that information initially getting out...

    Nobody is lying. If the box costs 16k and holds 16 people it's 1k each.
    And that isn't a box at Spurs...it's the Chairman's suite.
    But I believe Starmer on this one...he would prefer to use his season ticket but security would cost a lot

    First of all, security for the Emiroids? They're the biggest bunch of wet wipes in football

    Secondly, Jeremy Corbyn sits in the stands (having paid for his own ticket) and he literally had squaddies using his photo for target practice

    Thirdly, interesting how he was papped with somebody who advises companies who tax dodge millions, and at the conference we've only heard about clamping down on people on benefits...

    Starmer used his own ticket while he was Leader of the Opposition too. Tax avoidance isn't illegal and I doubt Starmer had any say who else was invited by Levy

    Corbyn shouldn't sit in the stands. There's been far too many stories in the press villainising him.
    Having said that, our enemies largely don't want to kill him. He's also not Prime Minister and never has been.
