U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has raised eyebrows for accepting donations in the form of clothes and other gifts from a wealthy businessman.
Despite being in office less than three months, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has already raised eyebrows for accepting donations in the form of clothes and other gifts from a wealthy businessman. The Labour Party leader, who won power in a landslide victory on a promise to restore trust in politics, has denied any wrongdoing over thousands of pounds worth of clothes and eyeglasses paid for by Waheed Alli, a media entrepreneur and longtime donor to the party.
The donations include thousands of pounds' worth of tickets for Premier League games involving the prime minister’s beloved soccer team, Arsenal. After controversy erupted, the Labour Party said Starmer won’t accept any more free outfits. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, who also accepted donations to pay for clothing, told the BBC: 'I get that people are angry donations for gifts and hospitality and monetary donations have been a feature of our politics for a very long time.
