Sir Keir Starmer has signalled he would carry on taking gifts from Labour peer Lord Alli amid a backlash over his wife’s clothes. The Prime Minister insisted there was a “massive difference between declarations and corruption” as he faced questions over his alleged failure to register high-end clothing given to Lady Starmer by the prominent party donor on time. Speaking to journalists travelling with him on his visit to Rome, Sir Keir dismissed the idea that taxpayers should fund such expenses for prime ministers and their spouses, but suggested it would be “pushing it a bit far” to deny him the right to accept certain kinds of hospitality. Isabel Oakeshott says the story surrounding PM Keir Starmer and his wife declaring over £100k worth of free gifts is "very corrosive" and "won't be going away anytime soon". Kevin O'Sullivan: "This will infuriate people all over the country!"
