On 24 August 2024, in what has been dubbed the "passes for glasses" affair, The Times reported that, shortly after Starmer became the prime minister, Lord Alli, Starmer's biggest personal donor, had been given a security pass. The pass gave Alli unrestricted access to Downing Street, and he then hosted a party there for other Labour Party donors.
Sir Keir Starmer has been given a £2m boost from a major New Labour era donor, as dozens of top business leaders are asking how to “get on board” with the Labour Party ahead of the next election.

Lord Alli, one of Labour’s biggest donors, found himself at the centre of a political row over the acceptance of gifts and hospitality by senior MPs in the party.
The Labour party proxy and undeclared donations was a political scandal involving the British Labour Party in November and December 2007, when it was discovered that, contrary to legislation passed during the Blair Government, the Party had been receiving significant financial donations made anonymously via third parties.
The Conservative Party relies on donations mostly from individuals and companies; as well as these sources the Labour Party receives a significant portion of its donations from trade unions. For example, in the third quarter of 2009, eighteen political parties reported donations totalling £9,532,598 (excluding public funds).
