Sir Keir Starmer will no longer accept donations in the future to pay for clothes, Sky News understands.

Rachel Reeves and Angela Rayner also announced they would take the same approach moving forward.

The decision by the prime minister, chancellor and deputy prime minister follows scrutiny of Sir Keir Starmer and his wife for accepting donations.

The prime minister has accepted work clothing donations worth £16,200, and multiple pairs of glasses, to the value of £2,485.

Ms Rayner has accepted clothing donations too, to the value of £2,230.

The chancellor has not accepted any such donations, according to the MPs’ register of interests.

Sky News revealed the scale of Sir Keir’s donations this week as part of our Westminster Accounts investigation.
