A wealthy businessman and Labour Party donor bought high-quality clothing for Victoria Starmer, the wife of the British Prime Minister. However, he did not declare them as due, said the “Sunday Times”. According to the report of the “Sunday Times”, Britain’s Prime Minister, Kir Starmer, by not declaring his wife’s clothing donations, violated parliamentary rules. According to the “Times”, Starmer, Prime Minister since July, has been faced with an investigation after “he neglected to declare” that the big Labour Party donor, Wahid Ali covered the cost of a personal dresser, clothing and clothing repairs for the Prime Minister’s wife. The prime minister’s recorded financial data, recorded on the House website, show that he has received many donations from Ali, including many pair of glasses, work clothes and accommodation costs. The Sunday Times reported that these donations had been declared, but the clothes given to his wife were not. A Downing Street spokesman in a statement he sent to Reuters stressed that Starmer and his team had asked authorities for advice on taking over power and believed they had complied with the rules. “However, after further investigation this month, we have reported more items,” said the spokesman. Ali is a British media entrepreneur and former president of the online fashion sales site “ASOS”. According to the Code of Conduct of the House of Commons, MPs must provide information about their financial benefits that can be reasonably considered to affect their work. A Conservative Party spokesman called for a full investigation into “obvious serious violations of parliamentary rules”.
