Health Secretary Wes Streeting got four tickets from The FA worth £1,160 for the August 15 gig.

Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson and Sir Ed went to the same show, with packages from The FA valued at £522.54 and £584 respectively.

Darren Jones got four tickets and hospitality for August 20 from The FA valued at £3,440.

And Chris Ward and Joe Morris both got packages worth £1,600 for the same show from the Premier League.

Reform UK MP Lee Anderson yesterday blasted: “These free-loading scroungers should have done the right thing and given the tickets to well-deserving people in their constituencies.”

Mr Ward’s spokesman said: “All donations are registered in line with parliamentary rules and procedures.”

A rep for MP Joe Morris said the same thing.

Other representatives were contacted.
