The Labour freebies scandal has continued as the Lord who donated clothes and glasses to Keir Starmer is under investigation.

Labour peer Waheed Alli is under investigation by the Lords’ commissioner over “alleged non-registration of interests” leading to a possible breach of the members’ code of conduct.

Starmer has claimed he borrowed Alli's flat during the election because his son needed somewhere to revise for his GCSEs.

The PM said his family home was besieged by journalists during the election campaign.

Alli gave Starmer £16,200 for outfits and £2,485 for glasses, as well as £20,000-worth of accommodation during the campaign.
