Keir Starmer Faces Cronyism Allegations Over Waheed Alli's £500,000 Donation and Civil Service Appointments
Aug 25, 2024, 07:37 AM
Labour Party leader Keir Starmer is facing allegations of cronyism following revelations that Labour donors and activists have been appointed to significant positions within the Civil Service. The controversy intensified with reports that Waheed Alli, a prominent TV mogul and Labour donor, was granted access to Downing Street typically reserved for staff and officials. The access, which included a No. 10 pass, has since been revoked. Alli had made a £500,000 donation, and there are connections to Sue Gray, Starmer’s chief of staff. This situation has sparked criticism and comparisons to past accusations of cronyism against Conservative ministers. The Labour Party has been urged to address these concerns and clarify the circumstances surrounding the appointments and access granted to donors.
