TLDR : Downing St angry that they got caught with their hands in the cookie pot breaking rules, so civil servants get blamed?

All parties are the same, and joe public are being taken for a ride.
Who buys someone something with no intention of receiving something back in return. It’s like with all donations, unions, business, billionaires, etc, just hand out thousands of pounds to the very people who create the rules. In any other company that would be seen as corruption and you’d be sacked.
I also wonder how they get past the bribery act with the value of these gifts. If you look at all other departments of the government, receiving such a gift would breach the gifts and hospitality policy, not for politicians, though.
Keir Starmers, nice speech prior to getting the keys to no.10.
“To change Britain, we must change ourselves – we need to clean up politics. No more VIP fast lanes, no more kickbacks for colleagues, no more revolving doors between government and the companies they regulate.”
“I will restore standards in public life with a total crackdown on cronyism.”
It seems that’s all in the past now that he’s onboard the gravy train.
