UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has repaid over £6,000 ($8,000) worth of gifts and hospitality received since taking office. The repayment includes six Taylor Swift concert tickets, four tickets to the races, and a clothing rental agreement with designer Edeline Lee, favored by his wife. This move follows public backlash and controversy over ministerial donations. Despite this repayment, questions remain about other gifts and donations that have not been returned. Additionally, top donor Lord Alli is currently under investigation by the House of Lords watchdog for non-registration of interests.
