Starmer failed to declare clothes gifted to his wife

The gifts, from prominent Labour donor Waheed Alli, were not initially declared in the register of MPs’ interests.

The prime minister approached the parliamentary authorities on Tuesday to make a late declaration after being given updated advice on what needed to be registered, The Sunday Times reported.

The donations covered the cost of a personal shopper, clothes and alterations for Lady Starmer both before and after Labour’s election win in July. MPs are required to register gifts and donations within 28 days.
