Waheed Alli, Baron Alli (born 16 November 1964) is a British media entrepreneur and politician. He has held executive positions at several television production companies including the Endemol Shine Group, Carlton Television Productions (now ITV Studios), Planet 24, and Chorion.[1][2] Alli served as the Chief Executive of Silvergate Media until 2022,[3] Chairman of Koovs Plc and a director at Olga Productions. He is a member of the House of Lords in the United Kingdom, sitting as a life peer for the Labour Party, and is described as one of only a few openly gay Muslim politicians in the world.[4][5]
In August 2024, it was reported that Alli had been given unrestricted access to 10 Downing Street, uncommon for anyone not formally employed in the Prime Minister's office, and that he had held a reception for party donors in the Downing Street garden.[6] He was also reported to have gifted Keir Starmer nearly £16,200 of free clothing, which initially was not properly declared, while Starmer’s wife, Victoria, was given £5,000 of free clothing, which at first was not declared.[7] Starmer admitted Alli gave him £32,000 to pay for clothing, double what he had previously declared.[8] As of October 2024, Lord Alli is under investigation for alleged non-registration of interests.[9][10]
