Keir Starmer Faces Scrutiny Over Gifts and Use of Donor's Penthouse

The Labour leader defends his actions as he prepares to address the UN General Assembly amid ongoing controversies.

Keir Starmer accepted £20,000 in accommodation costs from Labour donor Lord Waheed Alli to help his son study for GCSEs.
Starmer also used Alli's £18m penthouse to film a Covid work-from-home video, raising questions about propriety.
Since 2019, Starmer has accepted £107,000 in gifts, including football tickets and hospitality, more than any other MP.
Nine Labour MPs, including Starmer, have received high-value gifts such as Taylor Swift concert tickets.
Starmer is set to address the UN General Assembly, emphasizing the UK's commitment to global leadership amid conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine.
