Why limit the political gifts ban to buying clothes for the PM?

Starmer and top colleagues to stop taking clothes gifts from donors

Oddly specific rule. If gifts are a problem, and they probably are, then why not stop taking all gifts in this context?

That’s what it’s like where I work. We’re told to decline all gifts from third parties we have, or may in the future have, any kind of business relationship with above a certain nominal cash value to avoid, at the very least, the appearance of impropriety.

I forget the threshold, but it’s low. Basically enough that someone can buy you a coffee during a meeting, but not, for instance, £2260 worth of gold wallpaper.

That’s before we even get onto the debate as to whether ‘legitimate’ £ donations, especially big ones from rich people, are really the best way to fund political parties in general.
