Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer faces cronyism accusations over access given to major donor Lord Waheed Alli.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer faces accusations of cronyism after it was reported that major party donor Lord Waheed Alli, who gave £500,000 to the party, received unrestricted access to Downing Street. Alli, a millionaire TV mogul, was granted a security pass to Number 10, raising concerns about the politicization of the impartial civil service. This news follows allegations of Labour donors being appointed to Civil Service jobs, such as Ian Corfield's temporary role in the Treasury's directorate of investment.
