Lisa Nandy says Government shares public's priorities after clothing donations row
Ministers have sought to end the perception they are leading 'very different lives' to the public ahead of Labour’s party conference amid efforts to draw a line under a row about clothing donations to high-profile Government figures.
The row has drawn criticism from Labour’s political opponents who have sought to contrast the lavish gifts with the Government’s decision to limit the winter fuel payment for all but the poorest pensioners. Ms Nandy said the most important thing the Government had done since coming to office was being “open and transparent about what we are doing”, and maintained Sir Keir had followed the rules on donations. She earlier told Sky News the Government did not “want the news and the commentary to be dominated by conversations about clothes when we have a really positive agenda for this country”.
