UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has come under fire for failing to declare gifts from millionaire Labour donor Waheed Alli, a breach of parliamentary rules.
Alli — a TV mogul who was named the Labour Party’s chair of general election fundraising in 2022 — paid for a personal shopper as well as designer garments and alterations for Victoria Starmer, the Sunday Times reported. The prime minister may now face an investigation into the breach, the newspaper said.
