Labour peer Waheed Alli is under investigation from the House of Lords Commissioner of Standards.

Lord Alli is under investigation for alleged non-registration of interests.

It comes after a row over donations from Alli, one of Labour’s biggest donors, to Keir Starmer, including clothes and glasses.

PA reports that the Prime Minister has paid back more than £6,000 worth of gifts and hospitality received since entering Downing Street.

The Labour Party has been approached for comment.
