By the time Keir Starmer entered Downing Street, Waheed Alli had become so integral to the Labour operation that his presence there was unremarkable to party insiders.
The controversy has intensified as it emerged Labour may have broken parliamentary rules by not declaring that Alli had donated high-end clothing to Starmer's wife, Victoria.
The prime minister defended the donations, stating that his team proactively queried the parliamentary authorities on whether they needed to declare them.
Critics assert that this controversy undermines Starmer's narrative of political integrity, as his connections with significant donors complicate his efforts to project wholesome governance.
