GB News: Labour Party scolded for pushing Met Police into giving Taylor Swift royal-style escort: 'More cronyism and sleaze!'
The Labour Party faces allegations of cronyism for allegedly pressuring the Metropolitan Police to provide a police escort for Taylor Swift during her concerts in London. Despite initial resistance from the police due to costs, interventions from Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and Mayor Sadiq Khan led to the arrangement.
Critics argue this reflects poorly on Labour, suggesting it prioritizes celebrity over proper governance. Some commentators believe Swift should have funded the escort herself, asserting that the police should have made independent operational decisions.
