It's all about context. But this is a prime example of people holding Labour to a far higher standard than the Tories.
It would be an issue if Starmer was receiving gifts via tickets corporate to Arsenal, then two weeks later the person/ group/ company was then handed a massive government contact.
Boris has been in front of the Parliamentary Commissioner a few times, his paid for holiday by a Tory donor, his earnings of £50,000 and for his part ownership of a house, they didn't look into how he paid for his wallpaper. Boris did want Kathryn Stone sacked a while ago. Alot of MPs end up in front of the Parliamentary Commissioner mostly due to late registration of interest. It is stupid to declare gifts and outside earnings late, but it happens.
He literally cannot win. Either a minor mistake gets completely blown out of proportion, or he spends so much time checking over administrative and clerical work that he can do nothing else.
This clear and deliberate attempt to try and paint him as just as bad as Johnson is completely ridiculous.
But if Labour had an example like Owen Paterson and then trying to change the rules in the last few years it would be interetsing.
Not a good look when you are trying to uphold standards and just gives easy attack lines
