Sir Keir Starmer defended accepting free tickets worth over £8,000 for a private box at Arsenal games, claiming it follows security advice to reduce taxpayer costs.
In an interview, Starmer cited, 'Security advice says I can't go into the stands as it would cost the taxpayers a fortune,' emphasizing a practical solution to fan engagement.
Regarding his decision, he stated, 'I've been offered tickets where it's more secure and we don't have to use taxpayers money on additional security,' showing transparency.
Starmer's rationale for accepting the tickets underscores a broader discourse on public figures and their private engagements, intertwined with security concerns and fiscal responsibility.
