Rachel Reeves has defended accepting thousands of pounds of clothing donations. The Chancellor received £7,500 for clothing from her friend Juliet Rosenfeld since the start of last year.
Reeves has since said she will not accept clothing donations now that she is in government. It comes after Keir Starmer has been criticised for receiving £100,000 worth of gifts and tickets since he became Labour leader. “I really appreciated that, she’s made a big difference to me. That’s not something that I’m going to do in government.” She added: “I can understand that to a lot of people it looks a bit odd. I get that.”
The Chancellor said she “declared all of those donations in the proper way” and added: “It’s never something that I planned to do as a government minister, but it did help me in opposition”.
