Starmer pays back more than 6, 000 in gifts after donations row

Sir Keir Starmer has paid back more than 6, 000 worth of gifts and hospitality he received since entering Number 10 after a row over ministerial donations. The Prime Minister is covering the cost of six Taylor Swift tickets, four to the races and a clothing rental agreement with a highend designer favoured by his wife, Lady Victoria Starmer. It comes after Sir Keir and other Cabinet members who vowed to clean up British politics faced weeks of criticism for accepting tens of thousands of pounds worth of freebies from wealthy donors.
