Labour Peer Lord Alli Under Investigation for Alleged Non-Registration of Interests

The probe into the major party donor raises questions about transparency and accountability in Keir Starmer's new government.

Lord Waheed Alli is being investigated by the Lords' standards watchdog for allegedly failing to register interests, potentially breaching parliamentary rules.
Alli, a significant donor to the Labour Party and Sir Keir Starmer, has given upwards of £39,000 in gifts and hospitality since Starmer became leader.
The investigation focuses on possible breaches of codes requiring members to disclose interests that might influence their parliamentary actions and keep entries up to date.
This marks the first controversy for Starmer's new government, with Alli's donations and access to Downing Street under scrutiny.
The Conservative Party is also experiencing internal turmoil, with leadership candidates criticizing each other and the party's recent performance.
