PRIME Minister Sir Keir Starmer was accused of doing “too little too late” today as he scrambled to pay back more than £6,000 worth of gifts and hospitality following weeks of bruising criticism over his and ministers’ decisions to accept freebies.

Gifts paid for by Sir Keir include four Taylor Swift tickets from Universal Music Group totalling £2,800, two from the Football Association at a cost of £598, and four to Doncaster Races from Arena Racing Corporation at £1,939.

An £839 clothing rental agreement with Edeline Lee, the designer of an outfit recently worn by his wife to London Fashion Week, along with one hour of hair and makeup, was also covered by the Prime Minister.
