Keir Starmer faces a new row in the freebies scandal as it is revealed the Premier League and top clubs handed giveaways worth more than £100,000 to MPs, including the prime minister and nine serving cabinet ministers, during the battle over a new football regulator.
Premier League officials organised a spree of giveaways as they warned proposals for a tough watchdog might weaken the appeal of football in the UK. MPs were treated to hospitality at games, invitations to the Brit awards and Taylor Swift concert tickets.
