Tory MPs have attacked the prime minister after he revealed that he had received gifts from the Premier League totaling £12,588. These gifts included tickets to Arsenal games that were valued at over £6,000.
However, Neville—a former captain of Manchester United and England cap winner—told News that Sir Keir had “not done anything wrong” and that “his only release” was watching Arsenal with his family.
At the party’s conference in Liverpool, the well-known Labour supporter told News, “I’m startled at the amounts of scrutiny that this has received.”
It is wildly disproportionate. It is well known that Keir Starmer went to watch Arsenal with his family. For decades, he has paid for his season tickets. Every week, it’s one of his major releases. Actually, the only release.
“Two years ago, at the Labour Party conference, I asked him, ‘How do you spend time with your family and get away from politics?’ He claimed that going to Arsenal with his guys is the one weekly event he looks forward to.
