Starmer emphasized that there's a significant distinction between accepting gifts and engaging in corrupt practices, underscoring a transparent framework for registering such gifts.
He elaborated on his acceptance of hospitality gifts, particularly concerning attending Arsenal games, asserting that declining such gifts would prevent him from enjoying the sport he loves.
In response to allegations, Starmer maintained that all MPs receive gifts and that the established rules for declaration are adequate for transparency and accountability.
Despite calls for an investigation, the parliamentary commissioner confirmed no action would be taken against Starmer regarding the donations received from Lord Alli.
