Dale Vince, who donated £5 million to Labour, now wants a cap on donations.
This shameless hypocrite got £123 millions from the labour in government contracts for his company Ecotricity

He is an appalling character who has disfaced and disgraced the town of Stroud with a huge Palestinian flag hung from his building .

I believe this to be the reason why the 36 million was given in one lump sum.. Knowing someone will ask for donations to be capped... Too late Sir..😁
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

One has to be careful about what's said these days but I certainly wouldn't touch Ecotricity with a bargepole.

I too thought there'll be a cap on donations pretty soon.

Obviously none of the big three parties ever get donations do they? Maybe I should ask Google.

Oh. It seems that they do...


Annual Totals and Recent Figures
  • The Labour Party, Conservative Party, and Liberal Democrats raise varying amounts each quarter, tracked by the Electoral Commission.
  • In non-election years, overall donations across all UK parties sit around £25 million to £65 million annually, while election years see totals spike much higher (for instance, parties accepted nearly £100 million in 2024). [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • Individual quarterly data shows fluctuations: for example, in Q1 2026, the Conservatives accepted roughly £6 million, Labour took in about £4.1 million, and the Liberal Democrats accepted around £3 million (including public funds). [1]




Sources of Funding by Party
Each party relies on distinct primary funding models:

The Labour Party
  • Trade Unions: A substantial portion of Labour's baseline funding traditionally comes from affiliated trade unions through political funds and affiliation fees.
  • Individuals and Major Donors: Labour increasingly relies on wealthy individual donors, entrepreneurs, and business leaders.
  • Memberships and Small Donations: Regular subscription fees from party members provide steady baseline income. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The Conservative Party
  • Wealthy Individuals (Megadonors): The Conservatives rely heavily on high-net-worth individuals.
  • Companies and Businesses: Corporate donations from firms, financial backers, and private equity or hedge fund figures form a major pillar of Tory funding.
  • Memberships and Fundraising Events: Local associations and central black-tie fundraising events contribute significantly. [1, 2, 3]

The Liberal Democrats
  • Individual Donors: The Lib Dems raise money primarily from individual supporters and mid-level donors rather than massive corporate or union backers. [1]
  • Memberships and Bequests: Membership dues and legacies (gifts left in wills) make up a vital part of their operational revenue.
  • Public Funds: All three parties also receive limited public funds for parliamentary work (such as Short Money), though these are distinct from campaign donations. [1]

Listening to Angela Rayner interviewed by Boris's sister, she says this donations cap bill going through parliament will be backdated, they're trying everything to upset Reform's apple cart.  As Ange says, "you cannot buy your way into democracy"  :grin:  :grin:   Did the Tories and Labour not give peerages to some of their donors ? Did they not give contracts to Dale Vince who donated 6 million plus to the Labour party, before he switched allegiance ?

I'm just nit picking but she also said "Myself and the Secretary of State for Cabinet Office have also wrote to the Electoral Commission "  I'm sorry but she is deffo cringeworthy.

Come on Reform !!!! :upvote:

I don't care how many dirty tricks the Uniparty will try, the one thing they cannot do (as long as we still have the right of voting) is to prevent the people from supporting Reform regardless of what money they can or cannot receive.

Should they try it on, the UK will be seen by the rest of the civilised world as no longer a nation of free speech and freedom of choice.  That could even result in riots.

"you cannot buy your way into democracy."
Lord Alli donated around £72,450 to Angela Rayner between 2020 to 2024.
He also allowed Rayner to use his luxury Manhattan apartment.
She didn't mind it then. 🤔

The idea that laws on donations can be changed retrospectively and donations CONFISCATED as implied by Angela Rayner is so outrageous one can barely believe it  .
