Keir Starmer has defended his decision to borrow an £18 million penthouse flat from Labour donor Waheed Alli during the election campaign, explaining that the arrangement was made to provide his son with a quiet place to study for his GCSEs, away from the media and protesters outside their family home. The Prime Minister highlighted the "human" aspect of the situation, emphasizing that the move was motivated by a desire for his son to focus on his studies without distractions. He clarified that no financial transaction took place in connection with the arrangement.
