Chancellor defends taking free Sabrina Carpenter tickets

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has defended accepting free tickets to a Sabrina Carpenter concert, adding she will declare them.
Speaking on the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Reeves said she attended the concert a couple of weeks ago with a family member.
“I do now have security which means it’s not as easy as it would have been in the past to just sit in a concert,” she said.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer tightened rules on ministers accepting gifts and hospitality in November after he and a number of cabinet ministers faced criticism over donations.
Sir Keir paid back more than £6,000 worth of his own gifts and hospitality that he had received since becoming prime minister after the backlash. The figure included the cost of six Taylor Swift tickets.
