Sir Keir Starmer has defended his decision to accept corporate hospitality from Arsenal football club, arguing he can no longer use his normal seats as prime minister.
The Premier League club has made two seats available to Sir Keir, a season-ticket holder, in the corporate area of Emirates Stadium.
In interviews with BBC regional political editors, he said he had been advised it would cost the taxpayer more in security costs to use his normal seat.
He added that he would "rather be in the stands", but that accepting a corporate ticket was a "perfectly sensible arrangement".
