The prime minister was repeatedly asked about the repayment at a press conference in Brussels, in which he said the government was bringing in a new ‘set of principles’ for ministerial donations.

Listen, this government is about principles and I've demonstrated clearly to you all that I don't have any and so will arrogantly refuse to answer the question about whether it was wrong of me to accept those donations. Because I am a Tory.
I've got nothing against MPs having freebies even the PM, as long as it's been declared.
It's when it's not, that's the problem.
MP's aren't paid enough, that's why they claim everything.
The PM is on less than £200.000 a year, some footballers are on that a week.
Being PM should have a high salary.
If MPs were paid better maybe we might have better than we have in parliament at the moment. 😐
What a silly sausage 2 tier is, who is your benefactor Sir Tool? You should have gone to Spec Savers, buy one get one free and it would have saved you a lot of controversy!
So ARROGANT!
He's changing everything to SUIT himself! AND EVERY CHANGE IS HORRIBLE!
We know, the 'secret' is out, [ANY HOLES A GOAL], we should get rid of him ASAP.
The secret is, someone has been busy with both M and F, the F ended up with a bun in the oven!!
What’s six Thousand when he’s got Millions 😡
He’s corrupt. Worse he’s a hypocrite after pillorying Boris taking more money for trivial matters from a suspect individual.
Used tax payers money I bet
Wgeres the rest of the monies !!!
Bribery is corruption. It is taking in material gains in exchange for granting a favor.
He got the go ahead from his sugar daddy to make this announcement
So hes got no principles then.
What about the rest you hypocrite
‘fORgiVe mE pRiME miNisTEr’
😂🤣😂
what an absolute goonshow
The damage has been done. It may sound off topic but I chanced on this cool translator that does everything and more of what a translator should have, name is Immersive Translate and one thing that can really help is it’s new feature, which lets you create a custom AI expert for translating anything. Thank me later, it's gold.
Free Gear Keir
This scumbag should be in prison not number 10. A absolute lowlife.
Still can’t believe Starmer was so naive
