UK Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer has been found to have breached the MPs’ code of conduct eight times, but the violations have been judged to be “minor” and “inadvertent.”

An inquiry conducted by the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner Kathryn Stone found that the opposition leader failed to register on time eight interests, including gifts from football teams and the sale of a plot of land.
