Tories call for Starmer to face probe over football watchdog role
Conservatives demand investigation into Labour leader Starmer amid concerns over undisclosed donations from football watchdog chair appointee David Kogan.
- On Thursday, the Conservatives called for a standards probe into Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer over Labour donor David Kogan's appointment as England's new football watchdog and wrote to Sir Laurie Magnus to scrutinise the prime minister's role.
- The commissioner reported on Thursday that Mr Kogan made two donations of �1,450 each to Nandy's campaign, which she `unknowingly` failed to declare before endorsing him.
- Mr Kogan responded that his appointment was 'cleared' by 10 Downing Street, with the report stating no breaches beyond those in the report .
- Alex Burghart asked `If Ms Nandy recused herself from involvement in this appointment, shouldn't the prime minister have done the same?` as Tory ministers demanded Starmer's withdrawal and investigation over potential conflicts.
- Sir William's report recommended DCMS publicly disclose David Kogan's political activity when announcing his candidacy, noting he was longlisted under the previous Conservative government and the IFR aims to protect football's financial sustainability.
