Keir Starmer is in the midst of a freebie grabbing scandal as it was revealed he may have breached parliamentary rules by not declaring them properly.
The Labour Prime Minister Sir Starmer has found himself defending accepting thousands of pounds worth of clothing freebies for himself and his wife Lady Starmer.
Criticism continues to pile on top of the Labour leader as he’s slammed as a “screaming hypocrite” for condemning former PM Boris Johnson over similar issues, including the infamous donated wallpaper for his then Downing Street home.
In allowing multi-millionaire businessman and Labour donor Lord Alli to fund high-end clothes, a personal shopper and alterations for his wife, the PM has possibly breached parliamentary rules by not declaring them promptly enough.
Lord Alli – whose wealth is estimated to be £200m – is Starmer’s biggest personal donor and has this year given the Labour leader £18,685 worth of work clothes and several pairs of glasses. Lord Alli was later given a pass to access No 10 Downing Street, despite having no formal Government role. The Prime Minister, however, suggested he would continue to take gifts from Lord Alli
Asked on Monday whether he would continue to accept gifts from Lord Alli, Sir Keir said that “all Members of Parliament get gifts” and “the important thing is that they’re declared in accordance with the rules”.
MPs are supposed to declare gifts and donations to the parliamentary authorities within 28 days of receiving them. The Prime Minister declared the gifts to his wife, thought to have been received both before and after he entered Downing Street, only last week after initially believing that they did not need to be added to the register.
