> Labour taking free staff from scandal-hit consulting firms

> [...] The party has quietly accepted more than £230,000 worth of free staff from ‘big four’ accounting firms PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and Ernst & Young (EY) since Keir Starmer took over as leader in 2020.

Still, I'm sure it's a complete coincidence that the ruling party was gifted £230k of free services from PwC, then brought a static website from PwC for £4.1 million of taxpayer money.

In unrelated news Labour quietly dropped its plans to "restructure" the audit industry last week.
I wish a fitting comeuppance upon all the grifters taking up a seat which could've been filled by someone actually interested in governance.
these are exactly the kinds of people interested in governance. That's the problem
whew, good thing Nigel Farage is a straight shooter interested strictly in good governance.
Risky life close to the edge you're sailing there...

For your comment or mine? I'm happy to share.

All the same, you can have a long successful careeer, but you say nice things about Nigel the one time and forever after they'll call you a goat f*r and throw milkshakes on you :/
