When Keir Starmer entered 10 Downing Street as the UK’s new prime minister on July 5, the customary line-up of officials and aides was there to clap him in following the Labour Party’s resounding electoral success.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was elected in July on a promise to restore trust in politics. Now he's trying to shake off criticism over donations from a wealthy businessman and the hefty salary of his most senior aide.

Sir Keir Starmer has been slapped down by one of Labour’s most senior figures and told to stop trying to “justify” freebies. Baroness Harriet Harman told the Prime Minister “doubling down” is angering and alienating voters. Sir Keir has denied being “king of the freebies” amid a deepening political crisis over gifts.

Keir Starmer has dodged a question about why a Labour donor paid for clothes for him and his wife. The prime minister is accused of breaching parliamentary rules by failing to initially declare that multi-millionaire businessman Lord Alli had bought £5,

The Prime Minister has received more gifts and freebies than any other MP since he became Labour leader, it’s been revealed. A Sky News investigation found Sir Keir Starmer received two-and-a-half times more gifts and hospitality than the MP in second place, according to their research which tracks how money flows through the UK political system.

But the prime minister refuses to describe Wales' health services as broken, as he did in England.

Sir Keir Starmer initially failed to disclose he received £16,200 of free clothing from Labour donor Lord Waheed Alli, in a move that risks fuelling the controversy around the prime minister’s acceptance of freebies.

Baroness Harman became the first senior party figure to publicly criticise the Prime Minister in the growing storm over his acceptance of more than £100,000 worth of gifts and hospitality.

Sir Keir Starmer has come under scrutiny over the past week for the more than £100,000-worth of gifts he has accepted.

Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said he has “no problem” with ministers getting a “chance for a little bit of relaxation” as part of their jobs.
