Looks like they are all following their leader. The Environment Secretary Steve Reed took hospitality worth £1,786 for a Premiership game, (Chelsea v Crystal Palace), from the parent company of Northumbria Water - a company he is now supposed to be holding to account for 280,000 hours of sewage leaks in 2023. In what world is this acceptable? He is hopelessly compromised, bordering on corruption. A civil servant is not even allowed to accept a box of chocolates, likewise police. For obvious reasons, yet we are expected to accept that this behaviour is perfectly fine and dandy when it’s government ministers. Do these shysters ever stop and ask themselves why it is that billionaires and companies like Northumbria Water suddenly start falling over themselves to shower them with ‘donations’ as soon as they attain a position of power and influence? I doubt it very much, their arrogance and sense of entitlement knows no bounds. > **[Environment Secretary accepted 'donation' from company linked to water pollution](https://metro.co.uk/2024/09/25/environment-secretary-accepted-donation-company-linked-water-pollution-21674180/#:~:text=Steve%20Reed%20accepted%20football%20tickets%20with%20%C2%A31,786%20just%20three%20months)** > > Steve Reed accepted football tickets with £1,786 just three months after being named shadow environment secretary. ---

Getting in an early nice bit of raising her profile as part of her planned rise up the greasy pole, most likely tbh. Though I’m a Guardian reader (not exclusively) but I’m apparently and I quote: “_…a meld of sanctimony and arrogance_ _They not only believe that they are your moral superior, they have the arrogance to dictate how everyone else should live their lives…_” 😉 ---
