Change from Chickenfeed

Faith in British politics looks set to be sensibly, moderately and forensically restored with the CEO of Team Starmer condescending to repay a full six per cent of the value of all the bungs he's received over the past five years. Having accepted more than a hundred thousand in advance payments for his services since pledging his way into the leadership in 2019, the Prime Minister has now refunded the value of the six thousand sterling reminders of who his paymasters are which have dropped through the letterbox since the beginning of July. Team Starmer extruded a flunkette from the industry ministry to reassure the Government's employers that ministers are still a good commercial proposition, even though the transition from opposition to government may mean a change from payment in advance to cash on delivery. What percentage of Labour policies will henceforth serve interests other than the corporate remains as yet unclear.
