Keir Starmer found himself taking questions about a field for donkeys that he bought for his parents in 1996 as he gave an interview to the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg at the start of the Labour conference.
The Sunday Times had asked whether he put the field in a trust for his parents and allowed it to revert to him on their death as a way of avoiding any future inheritance tax liability. He categorically denied that this was the case.
