Guess who's on the list of Labor reps getting Israeli money? It's actually embarrassing how cheap it is to buy a politician these days, especially given how much Israel gets in return. Western - Israeli relations are very much, "Give us your citizen's money and we'll make sure some of it makes it into your campaigns and pockets."

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

It’s possible the money is a cover for the kompromat.
Barry the question is... THE QUESTION IS Gardiner! That Jacobean villain. Didn't expect to see him on the list.

From what I've seen they primarily launder bribes as donations through the party. You speak with a senior MP, one who is on the party payroll and takes a salary from the party, you make a donation to the party, the party writes favourable legislation, the MP gets a ~~cut of~~ "bonus" from the ~~bribe~~ donation.
Of course it's Margaret Hodge.
