Keir Starmer dodges fresh questions about why he doesn't buy his own suits and claims sitting in a posh box at Arsenal SAVES money for taxpayers as the PM is challenged about being Parliament's 'king of freebies' By Greg Heffer, Political Correspondent For Mailonline Published: 17:31 BST, 19 September 2024 | Updated: 18:12 BST, 19 September 2024 e-mail 73 View comments Sir Keir Starmer today dodged fresh questions about why he doesn't buy his own suits as he was challenged about being Parliament's 'king of freebies'. The Prime Minister faced a gruelling series of local TV interviews amid a fierce row over his acceptance of more than £100,000 of gifts since the 2019 general election. He is under scrutiny over taking suits and spectacles worth thousands of pounds from Labour peer Lord Waheed Alli, who also gave high-end clothing to Sir Keir's wife Victoria.

The PM has also been revealed to have accepted a luxury box at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium when he wants to watch his beloved Gunners. In his broadcast interviews, the Labour premier vowed to continue watching Arsenal from posh seats after being told he can't sit in the stands with regular fans due to security concerns. He also claimed that doing so would save taxpayers' money, but dodged questions about Lord Alli's funding of his personal wardrobe.
