Data shows Ms Phillipson has received around £14,000 in gifts from Lord Alli, a Labour peer who is one of the party's largest donors.
Asked what this was for, the minister explains this was "used to fund two events, all of which was declared properly and thoroughly".

14 grand for a 40th birthday party !!!!! They are so self absorbed, so entitled, me, me ,me. Whilst they piss up the backs of pensioners and tell them it's raining. Do people honestly think that those who volunteer to run the country aren't going to do it to benefit themselves.
Descriptions of a narcissist.
Not one of them seems to have any shame. That's what gets me.
I'm a nice guy. I'm kind. I try to help people when I can. But unexplainably, nobody has ever thrown me a £14,000 birthday party. Maybe this is because I do not have political influence to sell. Phillipson seems to believe she can gaslight the nation, because she thinks we are all very stupid.
she hates us, all Labour people do !!
Just like Boris Johnson saying it was a "work event" during the partygate scandal
Yeah, but 2 wrongs don't make it right. This is the corrupt government we are currently dealing with. @@djmattblack
This is nothing like partygate, this is just money grabbing, self-serving politicians. Starmer is showing them how to do it!
inexplicably
£14,000 for 40th birthday event seriously? I had my 40th on a budget due to earning low wages at the time! Totally out of touch and making excuses for greed!
Seconded pal
Here we witness the utter arrogance of yet another Labour MP on the receiving end of freebies, absolutely shameful given the despicable act of cutting winter fuel allowance for pensioners. What an immoral bunch of MP’s we currently have running the country. It seems little has changed since 2009 when the likes of self righteous Yvette Cooper were caught up in the 2009 MP’s expenses scandal.
Fascist economics. The media needs to stop being complicit and start educating people that all mainstream parties follow fascism. They need to educate people what that system actually means and stop pretending it's something completely different and cultural (it's an economic ideology) so people are tricked into believing we don't follow it
what an arrogant condescending attitude she's fuming that's she's be found out and doesn't like being questioned on the matter
It has been declared. It is in the public domain.
@@JHatLpool That's not the point
@@JHatLpool Regardless, her manner throughout the interview didn't do her any favours. She came across as defensive, indignant and lacking humility.
@JHatLpool so what, that doesn't make it right.
One hand washes the other. Corruption is so endemic in our system that politicians no longer see anything wrong with it.
ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL, BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS.
Animal Farm.
And some are like Amazon and Starbucks and don't have to pay tax some have several mansions like Rishi Sunak yes Labour freebies is an issue but the scandal, millions wasted on PPE and so on under the Conservatives was far bigger, and this should not be forgotten.
Spot on. It's Animal Farm in real life.
We use to read this book in school many years ago. They should still do that now more than ever.
@JamJam0189 Labour or Conservative its wrong, don't agree?
@@MrNewtonian agree!
Well done to Trevor and Sky TV, these politicians need to be held accountable.
That this lady thinks 14,000 is Ok to throw on a birthday bash, regardless of the invite list shows how out of touch she is with Joe Public.
Pigs with their snouts in the trough
Yes! ´pigs with their snouts in the trough´ is now the official motto of the Houses of Parliament...and has been since the Blair government.
I'm 55. My 55 birthdays together haven't cost 14k.
Saying “LOOK!” every time she’s about to justify her actions seems aggressive and disparaging of the point being raised
Fascist economics through and through. These people genuinely see themselves as superior to the citizens..it's how they justify working for big business and the rich, not the people
That's how Tony Blair always started his answers.
The rot is deep at labour!
Not as deep as the tories, but still rot
This isnt just an issue with Labour. It runs much, much deeper.
That is Embarrassing, That is Embarrassing!
Bloody awful
A Labour MP spent more on a birthday party than the annual state pension her constituents have to live on all year. Just let that sink in for a moment.
14 years hasn't changed Labour. Incompetent and corrupt as ever. This version is probably more extreme and worse.
And where did Gordon Brown stash the cash he got personally from Russian banks?
No probably about it
What's corrupt about receiving and declaring LEGAL donations? I agree politicians shouldn't be given donations whatsoever, but that's the system we've agreed to. Funny how I don't hear these complaints about Tories, particularly Boris Johnsons UNDECLARED donation of £100,000 for wallpaper.
She lies and gaslights like water off a ducks back, it speaks volumes.
Would she spend 14 thousand of her own money on a party? She is defending the indefensible!
Rayner - free clothes equals “ support” - liars!
They don't understand that accepting these donations is a very elitist thing to do. Labour hasn't represented the working class for about four decades.
This woman does not understand how this looks to the average person.
Of course they want to move on because they know this smells
so bad.
Sleaze. Sleaze. Sleaze.... Sleazy, Sleazy, Sleazy Labour. When will the sleaze end?
Never, all parties follow fascist economics and it is endemic
The slease started when blair got in !
Lobbying undermines democracy- so what’s the bloody point!
Have a 40th birthday party eh costing 14k nice. Labour are finished in next general election
Why did she need to invite these people to a “birthday event” in a supposedly “work context “ . Who does she think she is ……..Royalty ?
we know they can’t run the country but we thought they’d atleast be clean. they can’t even do that.
As clean as mud 😩
Bloody hell.
They're so out of touch they think it's OK? Motiveless? Normal? Backsheesh!
This is sleazy and gullibility at the same time.
She was ambushed too.
Starmers Sleazy Labour
.
They treat us with complete contempt
She makes the birthday party sound like she was organising Live Aid.
I've never been so disgusted by a government in power and there's been some corkers.the arrogance of this woman and her colleagues makes me sick.
£14k on a birthday. Can anyone who has spent £14k on a birthday comment, tell me what happened.
Champagne Socialism!
She should be in jail....along with torys who did the same thing...
These are bribes
Which Tories are in jail for dodgy donations?
Their stand that no rules have been broken is so filthy it stinks. Her attitude is disgraceful. No humility. Ask about the 4 million from the Cayman Islands hedge fund the other month.
£14,000 Birthday gift or a bribe?
Or what are they expecting in return?
Cronyism and corruption at it's finest
Pdf files all looking out for each other
‘He’s a Labour peer… He’s a Labour peer… He’s a Labour peer’
I wonder how Lord Chequebook Ali became a Labour peer?
Exactly. He bought his peerage. Now he's buying influence
the guy is banking rolling the party PM, cabinet, PM wife are we sure this guy is not the true leader of the labour party who the big man behind the scenes
And wonder why he seems to side with the Muslims and is called Two Two Keir
She definitely needs to be educated on such matters
Education secretary Bridget Phillipson received donations of £14,000 for 40th birthday event. 22.9.24. who employed all these Geordies.... They're ransacking the coffer...s
She knows, she did it anyway.
@@raindancer80yes she did.
@@raindancer80 Education secretary Bridget Phillipson received donations of £14,000 for 40th birthday event. 22.9.24. I object to their using the terms labour movement and labour party interchangeably...they aren't one and the same thing... go over to independent and check out the live stream....
these politicians are unbelievable! People don't even spend that on weddings or funerals, these people live on a completely different planet!
If there were nothing to hide, she wouldn't be so defensive or have to come up with long, complicated explanations.
Lets be honest, these aren't donations, they're bribes.
Why else does someone "donate" thosands to MP's? It's because they either expect, or have made an agreement, they will get something in return.
100% CORRECT.
They are bribes, but that's the system we've got. Blame the system, blame Tories maintaining that system for 14 years...bit harsh to call out one individual for accepting legal donations in our legal system.
@@fricozoid1 I'm not calling out one individual or party. The whole of Westminster is corrupt.
Pensioners would like to have gatherings for their birthdays too.
It's the fact that they are so unashamed by their actions, and with a general elections some 5 years hence, assume that the British people will forget their bare-faced greed at the next election. Don't bet on it.
‘It was a work event’ 😂😅😂
Labour have taken all of 80 days to show their true colours.
THEY ALL DON'T REALISE HOW BAD IT LOOKS UNTIL THERE COUGHT OUT JUST BY SAYING WE'RE NOT TAKING MORE DONATIONS JUST MAKES IT LOOKS WORSE......
Rotten to the core … Hitting the OAP hard. Now having Birthday Party’s played for. It’s my birthday soon, any chance of a contribution ?.
Give Lord Ali a ring Nigel. He dishes out everything from knickers to birthday cakes, suits and glasses. And apparently he doesn't want anything in return ??????
@@BunyanaRed1958 I’d let him have the pick of the sausage rolls. But not the jelly‼️
Lobbying should be banned. Only donation on little % donation to the party should be allowed. Nothing above £1000 should be allowed per year. All of them should be educated. All of them are corrupt.
And some are like Amazon and Starbucks and don't have to pay tax some have several mansions like Rishi Sunak yes Labour freebies is an issue but the scandal, millions wasted on PPE and so on under the Conservatives was far bigger, and this should not be forgotten.
This isn't lobbying
@@T5Zplayer Nah its a shady back hander for politcal favours
@@JamJam0189 Why not hold both parties accountable rather than "My party may of done this but the other one did this first", no wonder they keep all getting richer and we get more divided
She's just been interviewed by camilla t all she can say is it's all been done within the rules. Well all i can say is the rules need changing. Asked outright about dresses being claimed as office expenses to the sum of 7500.00 it's within the rules. Omg just stop talking
I do not believe a word this, and any of these Labour bullies say 😡
Just so arrogant and out of touch!
The voters did not vote for this
Unfortunately they did, they didn't learn the lessons of the past and just assumed that Labour would be better, without taking everything including their past into consideration. Labour have always been the same and nothing has changed. The public got what they wanted and voted for, no point moaning now, they have to live with the consequences of what they chose and done.
They did.
It totally stinks, we are not stupid
Labour voters must be proud.
We are proud. Taking gifts is better then partying during lockdown
@@equalitypeace1695 Beergate ?
@@equalitypeace1695 According to Sue Gray..........and such a mealy mouthed response, full of hypocrisy and ignorance
All hypocrisy. The Labour philosophy is to do what we say not as we do. I don't know how anybody can vote for them.
@@geraldfisher5683 taking gifts given to them willingly is hardly crime of the century. Partying during lockdown is
Well said Trevor
It's ‘all transparent’ - yeah, transparent corruption.
It was a birthday party that wasn't a birthday party. When Boris had a birthday party that wasn't a birthday party this shower of goons were all over it.
"there is no alternative to fascist economics" -Thatcher.
Never truer words spoken.
The media needs to start educating people we are under a fascist economic system rather than simping for it.
CPS let saville off and now harrods dude, shows me all I need to know about that man
Notice the quick blinking as soon as the hole has been dug.
she’s got a bit of that fast talking monotone Robo vibe like Reeves 🤖
What a liar! Got people together to talk about education for her 40th. Yeah right!
What? Terrence Phillips is holding Labour to account?
Donation used for work event….shock horror!
No one has a work event for a "birthday" party, it's either one or the other. The fact she is so arrogant as to think we are stupid enough to buy the BS she is selling, shows just how out of touch and ridiculous this lot really are.
A birthday is now a work event?!...
@@sammic7492 an event where the attendees were journalists, no family members, is not a party, imho.
Resign
@@MrFlamingo2002 She was the one who said it was her birthday and she wanted to celebrate, those are HER words NOT mine. Perhaps she thinks it's more acceptable if it's linked to her birthday, the fact is it's NOT.
Wow she’s pissed about answering the money questions and wants to draw a line under it! I bet she does 😂
The political elite think we are stupid! What about Free Gear Starmer and no prosecution of Saville.
Keep digging Bridget the electorate know what’s been going on
The eyes tell it all, despite the robotic verbal rebuttals.
All donations are bribes. The people donating want and get something in return. Nobody is giving this slag 14k for a birthday bash without wanting anything in exchange.
That journalist is an example for all journalists.
Its true if it was Suella Braverman, or any Conservative Minister/ M.P. , Labour would be driving them out !
Like they did Suella Braverman, and
Boris Johnson, and other Conservative
M P.s!
Donations have been happening years . If labour wouldnt have made so much of it then it wouldnt have come back to bite them
UK Government - Adults only need £4680 a year to live on.
Also UK Government - I want a party paid for by a donor that costs a measley £14000
What a horrible bunch of hypocrites these MPs are. I doubt they would get back in if there was an election tomorrow.
We don’t care about your birthday!!!!! This is criminal.
It had nothing to do with her birthday. Blatant lies . She lead two events , one for her crony mates in cabinet and another for those seeking to pay people who may have some influence in helping them get the policy changes that they require.
She said they have delivered GB Energy. No, they haven't. It is just an idea. They haven't delivered anything except chaos and distrust.
Please tell me how they are going to grow the economy, the only thing Labour know how to do is spend
I wonder what that Lord Ali is getting away with for all these bungs.
She's full of glee talking about receiving the money, look at her! £14,000 pizza?
My 70th next year after just retiring after working for 52 years. Not claimed a thing. Wish I could afford 400 quid for a bash, let alone 1400.
Her body language is quite interesting.
Get a load of women running the country and their first priority is their own wardrobe.
Another grifter …
Remember these donations, when public health England release the stats of the number of pensioners, that have died this winter from freezing.
He’s a Labour Peer so he can give me as much money as I can take
That's certainly the message she appears to be giving.
These people are just vile.
Forget what's coming out of her gob, it would be very interesting for a body language expert to analyse her during this interview.
And they say that’s there’s no 2 tier policing and no 2 tier justice system?
" We just want to draw a line under this and move on'. WOW. Just f**King WOW. Nothing ever changes with Politicians.
This just keeps getting better 😂
Companies with 1000s of employees manage to run expense accounts that are almost impossible to fiddle - it shouldn’t be difficult to manage 600 odd MPs so that they can only claim legitimate expenses; everything else should be banned and if they’re found to have conned the system they should be fired as an MP immediately, just as in the private sector. Why is it so hard to get simple things done ?
I had a pizza with my family on my birthday! Common touch?? So entitled !!!
How many times did Sir Kier state he was Director of the CPS during the election telling us over and over again how he ran the CPS. Now he back tracks.
Sir CPS 2TK $türmer fixed it for Sir Jimmy
Was he the son of Toolmaker by any chance?
I reckon Sir Ponce-a-box will be trying to get a fistful of Oasis tickets for next summer from the Gallagher brothers if he is at the match today.
Beware of scammers pretending to care. Spongebob Starmer is the leader of them!
The rules are made to suit their selfs. Arrogance...
Amazing.Its different when they do it. How do we get through five years of this lot
Labour haven't wasted much time getting into such sleaze and corruption, have they?
I’m turning 80 any offers of donations for a party for me, no I don’t think so.
Well done for keeping things on track each time Ms Phillipson kept trying to divert the conversation to labour lobbying, excellent interview.
SHE NEEDS A MEMORY JOG , Jimmy Saville ?
Keir didn't have the childrens interest did he,he was only interested in how much money he'd make
THE DOUBLE STANDARDS AND HYPOCRISY IS SOOO CLEAR TO SEE 😅😅
They think we are stupid
Narcarrcists, they beleive their own lies,its a joke power has gone to their heads.
‘We followed the rules’ - who makes these rules?
It’s going bad for Labour pretty fast.
