British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has justified a £20,000 donation (the equivalent of €24,032.68) with his son’s A-levels, promising the 16-year-old a peaceful environment to study despite the election campaign.
“Someone then offered me accommodation where it was possible and I accepted the offer. “It didn’t cost the taxpayer a penny,” the leader of the social democratic Labour Party told the BBC. Starmer and other politicians at the top of the party have been criticised for days for their handling of donations.
Starmer accepted more donations than almost anyone else in the House of Commons, to the tune of £100,000 (around €119,700). The majority of donations went to clothes, glasses, VIP tickets to Premier League football matches and a Taylor Swift concert. The majority came from millionaire Waheed Alli, who has hosted MPs in his luxury New York mansion.
No more clothing donations?
For example, the British Prime Minister needed an explanation for a clothing donation for his wife Victoria, which he had only mentioned late in the annual report to MPs. According to reports, the leadership of the Labour Party wants to do away with clothing donations in the future.
The events are spicy for Starmer and his party, who had announced they wanted to clean up the escapades of the previous Conservative government. Now it seems he is seamlessly continuing the Tories’ scandals.
