As Mrs Jonathan Clings To $20m+, Theressa May Has To Declare Gift Above £140 by Daviddson(m): 7:31pm On Oct 13, 2017
Theresa May was sent designer clothes, shoes and scarves from the likes of Stella McCartney and Charlotte Olympia, according to the latest government transparency data.
The prime minister also received gifts from world leaders including the King of Jordan, the King of Saudi Arabia and the president of Ukraine – but opted only to keep the present from the Ukrainian premier, a necklace valued at £160.

Government ethics rules mean the prime minister, ministers and special advisers must declare gifts received above the value of £140 – and pay for any of the gifts they wish to keep.

May is known for her love of fashion, especially designer shoes. The transparency data released on Friday revealed she was sent gifts by Stella McCartney, the fashion designer daughter of Sir Paul McCartney, which she purchased and kept, though no value is given.
She also received a pair of shoes by the luxury footwear designer Charlotte Olympia, famous for her quirky “kitty” designs – valued at £495.
The shoes are thought to be a pair designed for May to wear on Red Nose Day, a red velvet variation of the brand’s signature flat shoes featuring cat-like ears. The Cabinet Office records that the shoes were purchased by the prime minister.

Gifts from the Saudi and Jordanian royal families, including another fountain pen, a clock and a medal, are being held by the Cabinet Office, the department said.


The culture secretary, Karen Bradley, received the most freebies from the arts and sports industries, including some of the most desirable football tickets such as Chelsea’s Premier League game against Manchester City, as well as the FA Cup and Champion’s League finals.
She also received six tickets to the Grand National, seats at the Royal Opera House’s production of La Traviata and two tickets for Ed Sheeran’s Up Close gig hosted by Global Radio.
Other ministers in the department also enjoyed a long list of hospitality at sporting and cultural events. Matt Hancock received Glastonbury tickets and seats for an Adele concert, as well as attending parties hosted by the Arts Council, the Serpentine Gallery and the Society of Authors, among others.
Other junior ministers including John Glen and Tracey Crouch were given items including hockey and boxing tickets.

Here we see world's number two most influential head of state, being mandated to declare to the public any gift she receives that's more than paltry £140 pounds. But Nigeria's former first lady who has been in the civil service all her life laying claim to various sums of millions of dollars and billions of naira here and there. Where are we heading to?

is nigeria's former first lady a head of governement?
The civil service job she was given in bagels then was honorary. No salary and allowance.
Office of first lady is even unknown to the constitution of Nigeria, so what legal stand do u have to ask her to declare anything?
And which first lady from 1960 has declared her asset? Start from the beginning and not 2nd to last

You're even making my point simpler to understand: imagine why being an ordinary wife to a president should make you have millions of dollars within 5 years.

The Nigerian civil service pays its workers in dollars? If yes, her cumulative salaries ought to be in millions of dollars?

Yes, first ladies are part of the president's property and assets accrued to them must be declared। Yar' adua and his wife declared theirs. So what point is Patience and his gullible followers holding unto?
