Starmer accepted £76k worth of gifts including football and concert tickets

Sir Keir is a lifelong fan of Arsenal and has enjoyed complimentary tickets to see them play Manchester United, Manchester City and Porto.

He also received a free ticket to England’s defeat to Italy in the Euro 2020 final, while also attending Adele’s hometown concert at Hyde Park in 2022 and accepting four tickets worth £698 to see Coldplay at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium last summer.

Earlier this month, Sir Keir and his wife Victoria went to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium and were understood to have received free tickets.

Sir Keir has insisted there is no conflict of interest in accepting hospitality from the Premier League, which is opposed to some of the party’s plans to overhaul football regulation.

“That’s why we have a register of declarations for MPs, for exactly that reason,” he said on Monday.

“Everybody, yourself included, can see who donated, what it was for and how much it is, so that you can ensure there’s no conflict of interest, as I would ensure there’s no conflict of interest.”
