Being known as 'Mr Rules' may haunt Labour leader
The Independent|June 14, 2022
The allegations against Keir Starmer being investigated by the parliamentary standards commissioner appear to be relatively minor. Labour will be hoping their political consequences are too. The exact claims about what the Labour leader did wrong have not been made public, but an examination of his register of interests provides a few clues.

Being known as 'Mr Rules' may haunt Labour leader

Starmer appears to have been late to register six different payments and gifts relating mostly to free football tickets and advance payments for his book. In total the entries amount to £3,303.01 in late registrations. MPs have to record these interests within 28 days or they fall foul of the commissioner. In most cases the registrations were just a few days or weeks late.

It is difficult to see what impact Starmer's late registrations might have had: did they influence any parliamentary debate, and was the temporary concealment deliberate? It seems unlikely.
