The Electoral Commission has released the party donation figures for the third week of the election. It’s still grim reading for the Tories…
Labour managed to get a whopping £3,309,018, dwarfing the Tories’ £375,000. Meanwhile Reform only cobbled together £99,000, compared to £742,000 in the second week. Looks like Labour’s the only party whose coffers aren’t drying up…
Justice minister Alex Davies-Jones told the Today Programme it wasn’t ‘appropriate’ to ask whether or not David Lammy was shopping prior to DPMQs instead of trying to sort out the released prisoner:
“He was preparing for Deputy Prime Minister’s Questions. He was preparing to stand in for the Prime Minister, the first ever black person to do so… He cracked a joke because his poppy had fallen off this suit, which he also addressed during the Deputy Prime Minister’s Questions… I don’t think it’s appropriate to get into the weeds of if he was shopping or not in the morning.”
