Keir Starmer Admits to £20,000 Loan from Lord Alli for Son's GCSE Study in Luxury Penthouse
Sep 25, 2024, 11:06 AM
Sir Keir Starmer has admitted to accepting a £20,000 loan for accommodation from Labour donor Lord Waheed Alli. The accommodation, a luxury £18 million penthouse in Covent Garden, was intended to provide a quiet place for his 16-year-old son to study for his GCSE exams. Starmer defended his actions, stating that the arrangement was necessary due to media attention surrounding their family home during the election campaign. He emphasized that the donation did not cost taxpayers any money. The loan covered the months before and after the election. However, the timeline of the accommodation use has raised questions, as the dates do not align with the GCSE exam period.
