Keir Starmer under investigation for breaking parliamentary rules on earnings and gifts

This one isn't about a beer in lockdown

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is being investigated over potential breaches of rules on earnings and gifts, the parliamentary website show. The investigation is being headed up by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, Kathryn Stone, who will look into whether the Leader of the Opposition breached the rules regarding employment and earnings and registering gifts, benefits and hospitality.

Two potential breaches of the rules which all MPs must adhere to are under consideration, after the case was opened last week.
