From Wimbledon's Royal Box to sell-out Taylor Swift concert, what is on Sir Keir Starmer £107,000 gift card By Tom Kelly for the Daily Mail Published: 00:00 BST, 20 September 2024 | Updated: 00:05 BST, 20 September 2024 e-mail View comments Most people have been forced to cut back on fun over the past few years as they have struggled first through the pandemic and then the cost-of-living crisis. Sir Keir Starmer , however, has been lucky enough to enjoy prime seats at an astonishing succession of top social, sporting and cultural events, ranging from Wimbledon's Royal Box and top football clashes to Taylor Swift and Adele concerts. Even more fortunate for the Prime Minister, he did not have to pay a penny for these jollies, which along with other gifts and benefits total £107,000 since December 2019.
Because Sir Keir, whose net worth is thought to be £3million and who currently earns £166,786 a year, had his high living bankrolled by generous benefactors. According to an analysis of gifts, benefits, and hospitality in Parliament's register of MPs' interests, he managed to burn through freebies worth two and a half times more than those received by the second-most fortunate MP over that period. This is all before the latest revelations that he now has use of a corporate box to watch his beloved Arsenal play at home, which usually costs more than £8,000 per game.
