      He’s received a lot more than that in cash and donors’ staff both personally and to the party eg the private healthcare sector as he’s now keen on NHS privatisation err reform. He’s let out prisoners without tags who will get jobs at donor James Timpson’s key-cutting business and get to jump to the top of housing queues of 55 years. He’s not going to upset Lord Sainsbury (probably gets free groceries). Those betting shops will continue to rake in cash without regulation. Bankers bonuses will not be capped as Barclays donate. He’s received money from a South Africa/Isrseli businessman called Gary Lubner, a man who made his money under South Africa’s apartheid regime. This excludes all the cronies and besties in top jobs. The Labour Party doesn’t need the unions any more as their donations are dwindling so can afford to treat working class people with contempt. Read all about it in Private Eye.

      You do realise the main reason we have "boat people" is because BoJo forgot to include the returns process we already had while in the EU in his oven ready agreement. Nothing at all in his deal. That's why this has only been a recent problem. We could and did send them back to France until Brexit.
