Under the section on gifts and hospitality, they must register benefits worth more than £300, or multiple benefits from the same source if they exceed that value in a calendar year. The rules on employment and earnings say that MPs must register payments of more than £100 which they receive for work outside the Commons.

Voters told pollsters that the Labour leader is 'boring'. But they also used another word to describe him… and it's far more damaging.

Mainly because the Baroness presented Play School from 1976 to 1984 – when Mr Hunt was between the ages of 10 and 18, and Mr Gove was between nine and 17. I suspect this is why, at meetings, he insists that he and his guest sit at opposite ends of a preposterously long table. As so many of today’s senior politicians have fond memories of watching her on TV when they were children, they’re always eager to listen to what she has to say. This time, he was at least willing to acknowledge that the “vast majority” of women “don’t have a penis” – which, for Sir Keir, represents a significant advance. I’m surprised that this master of propaganda hasn’t thought to have his Kremlin guards replaced with circus dwarfs. So when he fails to answer the question simply and clearly, it can only be because he’s terrified of his own activists. Thanks to yesterday’s photograph, however, the world can now see the truth. While we’re on the subject, the Russian president won’t have been best pleased with the comical photo of him in the Telegraph yesterday. Take Sir Keir’s ongoing struggles to answer that brain-teasing conundrum, “What is a woman?” It was put to him yet again last week, on LBC radio. Members of the public were asked what adjectives they would use to describe the Labour leader. So in my view, Sir Keir’s biggest problem is not that he’s so thunderously boring. Personally I don’t think Labour should worry too much about this particular aspect of the study.

Members of Sir Keir Starmer's shadow cabinet have warned the Labour leader that he is 'boring voters to death' as a separate poll revealed voters feel he is 'bland but honest'.
