John Swinney ‘stunned’ at Prime Minister clothing donations row - Scotland’s First Minister said politicians must be ‘absolutely transparent’ about such matters.

JOHN Swinney has said he was “stunned” to hear that Keir Starmer had accepted clothing donations. The First Minister said that Starmer has now done the right thing, after it emerged that he and his most senior ministers will no longer accept donations to pay for their clothes, but that it should never have happened in the first place.

Nandy says Government shares public’s priorities after clothing donations row - Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said that ministers ‘don’t want people to believe that we are living very different lives from them’.
