The Prime Minister, Rachel Reeves and Angela Rayner since confirmed they will no longer receive donations for clothing amid the row
Sir Keir Starmer’s penchant for free gifts is “totally outrageous” and puts him out of touch with the lives of ordinary people, voters have said. In two focus groups organised by the More in Common think-tank this week, voters in Rochdale and Manchester were scathing about the Prime Minister and his wife, Victoria, receiving gifts worth tens of thousands of pounds.
Voters take a dim-view of Sir Keir Starmer, and his wife, Victoria, having clothes bought for them by donors Starmer has come under intense scrutiny after it emerged that he had received more free gifts and hospitality than any other MP since 2019, benefiting from £107,145 in freebies. The Prime Minister – a diehard Arsenal fan – has received almost £40,000 in free football tickets since 2019, while the Labour peer Lord Alli lavished him with “work clothing” worth £16,200.
