Starmer Under Investigation Over Undeclared Gifts

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under scrutiny for failing to declare gifts from Labour donor Lord Alli, who provided high-end clothes, a personal shopper, and garment alterations for his wife, Victoria Starmer. The Conservatives have called for a full investigation into these potential breaches of parliamentary rules, emphasizing that MPs must register gifts within 28 days. Starmer has since made a late declaration following updated advice. The controversy, dubbed 'Wardrobegate,' has raised questions about Starmer's adherence to transparency standards, particularly given his criticisms of similar issues in others. Labour's David Lammy defended the donations, citing the lack of taxpayer-funded provisions for the Prime Minister’s wardrobe, unlike in the US.
