Asked bout 2TK's freebies....

"..people want to see their government well turned out and attending public events.." - right oh!

[davebro3]

I wonder who Michael Foot got his freebies from - Wimpey?🤣

[curlyfries81]

He's the King of Freebies but it's all in the public's best interests. Apparently.

Michael Foot...... that reader refers to MF ( Feet brothers were all red hot marxists) 1981 (!) turning up to the Nov 11 memorial day in a donkey jacket

Around that time, someone had spotted Wilson PM 1964-70) with a darn in a suit pocker

[Peter Pedant]

free well-cut clothes whilst pensioners freeze - someone is gonna mention Marie Antoinette innit?

[Peter Pedant]

was this the prog where the interviewed said - why did Laws go within 10 d in Cameron's admin?

expenses - I had to look it up - paying rent to his partner ( hem hem) and passing on the exp to Parliament

[theshedman]

Many pensioners wont be able to afford cake or bread for that matter.

[Hopkirk]

I'm sure Lisa Mandy is inwardly fuming that she has to defend this.

[max137]

What people dont realise this government is ill prepared to govern, as was the last because for years the EU made the laws and our parlimtarians nodded them through.

[davebro3]

^^^ and anything that was in our remit they opposed whether it was good or bad.

Total amateurs.

As far as I can make out, it doesn't seem to be clothes at all. It seems to be money sent with the excuse that it was to buy clothes with. Or do I have that wrong ? I was surprised any sane person would be spending thousands on clothes, but if that was just an excuse then it made more sense.
