The gifts given to Sir Keir Starmer, have dominated recent headlines over recent days, with the Labour Prime Minister receiving 18 gifts since June last year, worth a combined total of £65,978.

That’s more gift entries in the latest register than any other minister. Three of the gifts are from Lord Alli: accommodation worth £20,437, work clothing worth £16,200, and multiple pairs of glasses worth £2,485.

Another 14 of Sir Keir’s entries are for tickets to music and sporting events, worth a total of £22,356.

Jeremy Corbyn – the MP for Islington North in London – has received the next highest number of gifts on the register, with 16.

All of his donations are legal fees to pay for Mr Corbyn’s solicitor in the case of Millett vs Corbyn, a libel action against the former Labour leader which was discontinued.

Those donations are worth a total of £298,705, which is more than all but one other current MP.

The largest single gift on the register is to Dame Siobhain McDonagh.

She was given a £1.2million interest-free loan “to be repaid on the sale of the home I share with a family member”. Her entry on the register states that “the move was necessary to provide the family member with complete ground floor access”.

Outgoing Conservative Party leader and former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has two entries on the list – both for the use of helicopters during the election.

They were worth a total of £11,496 and were gifted by HomeServe CEO Richard Harpin.

Two of the Tory leadership candidates, Robert Jenrick and James Cleverly, don’t have any gifts on the register.

But Kemi Badenoch does – four tickets with hospitality for the Jingle Bell Ball worth £800, donated by Global Media.
