Sir Keir Starmer defended taking accommodation from Lord Waheed Alli, emphasizing the necessity for his son to have a peaceful study environment during his exams amid media scrutiny.
He said, "We had lots of journalists outside our house, but if you're a 16-year-old trying to do your GCSEs, I promised him we would move somewhere."
Starmer asserted, "Somebody then offered me accommodation where we could do that, and I took it up. And it was the right thing to do. It didn't cost the taxpayer a penny."
He mentioned the challenges faced by his children, particularly the impact of public scrutiny on their lives, stating, "the situation was difficult for my daughter, who is 13, and my son."
