(INE) MONEY FOR NOTHING?

In April 2024, the Prime Minister’s register of interests showed that he had received £16,200 worth of “work clothing” from Lord Alli, who is a former chair of online clothing retailer Asos.

The Labour peer also gave him “multiple pairs of glasses” the same month which were valued at £2,485, according to Starmer’s register of interests.

Between 29 May and 13 July 2024, Starmer received accommodation from Lord Alli to the value of £20,400.

Alongside accommodation costs and work clothes, Lord Alli has also donated costs directly to the running of Starmer’s office.

Most recently, he gave £10,000 in October 2023, £6,000 in February 2024 and £16,200 in April 2024 described as “private support for the Office of the Leader of the Opposition”.

In April 2020, during the race to replace Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Party leader, he also gave £100,000 to Starmer’s campaign, having previously given £50,000 to Rayner and £54,000 to Emily Thornberry to support their candidacies.

Between October 2023 and March 2024, he gave Angela Rayner £17,650 which she stated was intended “to support me in my capacity as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party”, as well as a separate unspecified “donation in kind” of £3,550 in July 2024 “for undertaking parliamentary duties”.

The Labour peer contributed £12,500 to David Lammy in November 2023, £10,000 to Ed Miliband in April 2023 and £10,000 to Wes Streeting in August 2021 while all three were members of the shadow cabinet, with the donations earmarked for supporting the hiring of additional staff.

Donations of £10,000 in November 2023 and £4,000 in December 2023 were also made to Bridget Phillipson while she was shadow Education Secretary which she stated was “to host a number of events, including on behalf of the Shadow Education Team”.
