UK MPs Declare Over £1 Million in Gifts, Farage Tops Recipients
Since the election, nearly half of all MPs have declared receiving over £1 million in gifts and hospitality, including foreign travel, accommodation, and tickets to sporting events and concerts. A total of 318 MPs reported gifts, with 236 declaring UK-sourced gifts worth £477,539 and 144 MPs noting overseas trips funded by donors, charities, think tanks, or foreign governments totaling £810,761. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage received the highest value of gifts, amounting to £98,709, including flights and accommodation for multiple US trips, a helicopter ride valued at £8,413, and tickets to a boxing match worth £2,000. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was the largest recipient of UK-based hospitality, primarily due to his frequent attendance at Arsenal football matches, declaring over £11,000 in football tickets. These revelations have sparked controversy, challenging the Government's commitment to restoring trust in politics following its election campaign. The findings underscore ongoing scrutiny over MPs' acceptance of gifts amid concerns about transparency and influence in Parliament.
