Labour points finger at Tories over donations

Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour party’s conference was mired in his freebie fiasco scandal after revelations about clothing donations and trips abroad surfaced. But while the Labour lot had a tricky time fending the story off at their conference, they appear determined not to let the Tory meet pass without a similar hitch. Now it transpires that the Labour party chair has written to the Electoral Commission to demand an investigation over donations accepted by one Robert Jenrick. How curious…

The Chancellor’s sister Ellie Reeves has blasted the Tory leadership frontrunner over a £75,000 sum he accepted from a company called The Spott Fitness. Raising concerns over the ‘legality’ of the monetary gift, Reeves fumed:

Most concerningly, Companies House records show that in January, Spott entered into a loan arrangement with a company based in the tax haven British Virgin Islands. The amount of this loan from Centrovalli Ltd or any details on who actually directs this offshore entity are entirely unknown.
