Dame Joan Collins takes swipe at Keir Starmer over free clothing controversy


The prime minister has found himself at the centre of a donations row.


Dame Joan was best dressed on the panel of Loose Women, she sat next to the every glamouress Nolan and Street-Porter - not.


Dame Joan Collins took a cheeky swipe at Keir Starmer’s shopping habits during an episode of Loose Women on Monday (23 September).


The prime minister and Labour leader has come under fire in recent days over a decision to accept donations of expensive clothing from prominent and wealthy Labour donor, Lord Waheed Alli.


Items included tens of thousands of pounds of clothing for him and his wife Victoria, as well as multiple pairs of expensive spectacles.


Collins, 91, made the dig while discussing her shopping habits during her time starring as Alexis Carrington Colby in Dynasty.


“Of course I do like shopping so I spent a lot of time in Saks, and Neimans,” she told Ruth Langsford and her co-hosts.


“You’d go in and you’d get a shopper, a personal shopper, and you’d go ‘I’ll have that and that and that and that’. A bit like our prime minister.”


There was an audible reaction from the audience as laughter and “Oooh” rang out.


Starmer has vowed not to accept any further donations of clothing.
