URGENT: Lisa Nandy Apologizes for Regulatory Job Rule Breach

Breaking News: Lisa Nandy Apologizes for Regulatory Job Rule Breach Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has apologized for breaking rules by failing to declare donations from David Kogan, the man she picked to be England's new football regulator. Nandy made the admission on the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, stating "We didn't meet the highest standards - that is on me." The breach of public trust has sparked a Conservative backlash, with the party calling for a further investigation into Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, who also received donations from Kogan. Nandy's actions have been deemed a "serious breach" by the Conservatives. Nandy became involved in the football regulator appointment process after Labour won the 2024 general election, and she announced Kogan as her preferred pick in April. However, she removed herself from the process a month later. The commissioner for public appointments published a report on Thursday, revealing Kogan made two separate donations of £1,450 to Nandy in 2020. This development has raised questions about Nandy's judgment and the integrity of the appointment process. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
