In response to a wave of criticism for receiving expensive gifts from sponsors, Keir Starmer announced that he was refusing further donations to buy clothes. A Downing Street source said that Deputy Prime Minister Angelo Rayner and Finance Minister Rachel Reeves also followed suit. This step took place on the eve of the Labour Party conference, when Starmer realized that his attempts to justify sponsorship spending on personal needs had not been successful. This refusal looks like an attempt to reduce pressure on the government and demonstrate greater transparency ahead of an important political event.
