Well he’ll have to get out of the habit of being late in future, if he doesn’t want the censure/ bad opinion.

You are also not correct.

Starmer (or his office) has a habit of being late in declaring this sort of stuff.

It has all been declared in July I think after he took office.

It was more than that Whitewavemark2
Lord Ali is a major Labour donor but he also paid thousands for suits for Keir Starmer and pairs of glasses as well as designer dresses for his wife.Starmer has apparently not declared some of these expensive gifts.Lord A is also able to wander 10 Downing St at will with his own pass.This isn’t a good look all round.

I was commenting on the OP and Lammy’s remark.

I’m not sure you have that correct. It is far more nuanced than that.

Lammy was commenting on the funding received from a Labour supporter to pay for Lady Starmer’s clothes, as she took on the roll of PM’s wife.

Lammy only suggested that perhaps in order to keep our end up there should be funding for “official” clothing for the PM and spouse.

It was only a thought, nothing to get too wound up about.

And no doubt Lammy has moved in to more important stuff😊

You want public funding to buy clothes so that you look nice?
Beggars belief.

You already get free breakfasts, travel and your heating paid for.

I'll take a bucket round at the next pensioner bingo session and send you whatever gets put in it. You can wear that.

It's called using your wages....just like everyone else! You are trying to defend the indefensible and it makes you look stupid Sir.
