freebie

Runners received a ton of freebies, particularly at the bib pickup at the Grove, which included a dri-fit T-shirt and makeup from Milk.

Take any freebie you get – even though in this case it’s not a freebie.

Following a row over freebies last summer, the government has introduced new rules which do not ban ministers from accepting donations but require them to consider the "need to maintain the public's confidence".

"They didn't come in with a big project," one source says, and many voters took a dim view of ministers' freebies and the decision on winter fuel allowance.

Sir Keir Starmer tightened the rules on ministers accepting gifts and hospitality last year, following a backlash over senior Labour figures receiving freebies.
