UK PM Starmer Under Investigation for £76,000 Undeclared Gifts from Labour Donor 10 Weeks into Tenure
Sep 15, 2024, 09:01 AM
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under investigation for allegedly breaching parliamentary rules by failing to declare gifts from millionaire Labour donor Lord Waheed Alli. The gifts included high-end clothes, personal shopping services, and alterations for Starmer's wife, Victoria. The total value of these gifts, which also included suits and glasses for Starmer himself, is reported to be around £76,000, with £19,000 worth of high-end clothes for his wife. The controversy has sparked criticism and accusations of hypocrisy, especially given Starmer's previous criticisms of other politicians for similar rule-breaking. This investigation comes just 10 weeks into Starmer's tenure. Foreign Secretary David Lammy defended Starmer, stating that there is no budget for the Prime Minister's clothes in the UK, unlike in some other countries.
