"I wonder how many of the Determined to Be Outraged actually know what the story is with PM's wife's clothes - rather than what they have seen in hatchet headlines and posts by fellow Determined to Be Outraged.

I bet you, it's not many. Seems a minor story to me. Does this 👇🏽 change your impression?"

    "It is understood that the prime minister’s office approached the parliamentary authorities to make the late declarations last Tuesday. By then, Starmer’s team was already in touch with them because several designers had approached Victoria Starmer asking if she was interested in free products such as clothes, jewellery and make-up. His staff had asked if Starmer would need to declare his wife being given those items if she accepted. The answer was that he would.
    
    As a result, his staff considered whether previous gifts from Alli should have been declared on the same basis and decided they did. They then wrote to the authorities to update Starmer’s register of interests, which is scheduled to be published next month. Victoria Starmer has separately declined to accept the offers from designers."

    "It is claimed that the view Starmer did not need to report the clothes was based in part on advice he sought from the parliamentary authorities in June, when he accepted VIP tickets worth ÂŁ4,000 from the Football Association to see Taylor Swift at Wembley Stadium.
    
    He took his wife and children and was advised, in line with the rules for hospitality, that he needed to declare only four tickets, rather than making disclosures on their behalf. However, separate rules apply to third parties personally receiving “benefits” including “clothing or jewellery”."
