News summary

Angela Rayner, the Deputy Prime Minister, has disclosed that she received £3,550 worth of work clothes from Labour peer Lord Alli, a detail she clarified after initially categorizing the donation as a 'donation-in-kind for undertaking parliamentary duties'. This revelation comes amidst scrutiny over her and other Labour ministers' acceptance of gifts, which has previously drawn criticism. Following backlash, Rayner, along with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves, decided to stop accepting clothing donations. In addition to the clothing, Rayner had previously accepted a stay in Lord Alli's New York apartment, which has also faced criticism. The controversy around these donations has prompted an inquiry into potential breaches of parliamentary rules regarding transparency. Starmer has faced similar scrutiny for accepting various gifts, leading to a commitment to improve accountability within the party.
