Premier of Britain Starmer faces investigation over clothing purchases for his wife

2024-09-16 // LePodium.NET
The Prime Minister of Britain, Keir Starmer, faces an investigation over undisclosed clothing purchases made for his wife Victoria by a financial donor. The investigation comes after it was revealed that Starmer violated parliamentary rules by not declaring the fact that a multimillionaire businessman and donor to his party had bought expensive clothing for his wife. The businessman, Lord Wahid Ali, also covered expenses for a personal shopping consultant for Victoria Starmer both before and after her husband came into power. The total cost of the gifts and the period over which Victoria received them has not been disclosed by the Prime Minister's office. Opposition politicians have criticized Starmer for removing a portrait of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher from his residence, viewing it as a "vindictive" and "petty" decision. Conservative lawmakers have called for the portrait to be reinstated. Since coming to power in July of this year, Starmer's support has dropped by 26%. Experts attribute this decline to his inability to make competent decisions amidst the anti-migrant protests that erupted in late July following the murder of three children.
