Keir Starmer's recent acceptance of over 100,000 in gifts has drawn scrutiny, with critics questioning the ethics of receiving luxury items from wealthy donors like Lord Alli.
Starmer has previously insisted his acceptance of hospitality is related to his security requirements of not being able to go into the stands, stating: "If I don’t accept a gift of hospitality, I can’t go to a game... That's why gifts have to be registered."
Angela Eagle struggled to defend the scale of freebies accepted by the prime minister, saying, "I’m afraid I’m not responsible for decisions the prime minister makes." This reflects the growing concern over the influence of donor gifts.
The Labour party has been silent on whether Alli funded Starmer's accommodation during the election, raising questions about transparency and the potential influence of wealthy benefactors on political leaders.
