Amusing though about the amount spent on fashion, he doesn’t exactly strike me as a stylish man… more M&S than Savile Row, you know?
He has to declare them as something - otherwise he will be pilloried for not declaring them.Mmm why did he declare the value at £500 for his trip to Brighton? And other clubs too?

What has Taylor Swift got to do with the Premier League though??
It’s like the BBC don’t like the man for some reason, can’t think why….
Because he has to state the notional value of all perceived benefits.Mmm why did he declare the value at £500 for his trip to Brighton? And other clubs too?

I tend to find sitting back and watching some of the claims on here getting ever more badly informed and ridiculous far more amusing than actually interrupting to explain

Well, of all the free tickets, I think the Taylor Swift ones are probably the most ocntroversial, believe it or not.
They were a gift from the Premier League. the same Premier League that has a very significant interest in the Football Governance Bill to the extent they releasted a statement that included: "we remain concerned about any unintended consequences of legislation."
There's a clear potential conflict of interest there.
But freebie-ticket-gate really is largely a fuss over nothing. The focus really should be on the ongoing disgraceful plans to subject many hundreds of thousands of society's poorest and most vulnerable to a miserable winter of cold, leading to illness and death for some.

From what I understand, a diamond encrusted codpiece took 15,595 of that 16 grand, the last 4.99 was a premium bag and cleaning cloth for the codpiece.
Basically it's the Arsenal home and away kit.More clothes ffs

Yes, definite conflict of interest - the Arsenal tickets far less so. Although I'm not sure why the PL had Taylor Swift tickets - it was at Wembley, so I would have thought it was the FA?

Exactly because we want them to change direction
Agreed. I went away to check that before making my post, but I found it reported as the Premier League in multiple reputable sources such as the BBC.

I guess the PL get a certain amount of Wembley tickets in some sort of deal. It would be even worse if they actually paid for them and then gave them to Starmer. And other MPs I see, quite a few in fact (and some direct from the FA as well).
Which led me down another rabbit hole - I didn't know the PL was actually "The Football Association Premier League Limited"!
Every MP who snaffled free Taylor Swift tickets while millions missed out
Swifties were desperate to get their hands on an Eras Tour ticket - but 11 MPs including the Prime Minister leapfrogged them.

If only there was a former Chief Prosecutor or former Head of the CPS, maybe a barister, in a position of authority who could instigate a process to do something to change the system.
