Reform UK are now under police investigation over alleged secret donations. If political parties are taking money behind closed doors, the public deserves to know who paid, how much, and what they expected in return. Transparency in political funding isn’t optional.

Big money has too much influence over British politics. The Government has now promised a new taskforce to tackle the power of political mega-donors. That’s welcome, but it needs to lead to real reform, and quickly. Our democracy shouldn’t be for sale to the highest bidder.

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer has resigned as MP for Holborn & St Pancras, triggering a parliamentary by-election. 🌱 Green Party Leader Zack Polanski has expressed interest in running in the by-election.

If donations over £100,000 are considered a risk when the donor lives abroad, why does that concern disappear when they move back to Britain? Closing the loophole is welcome. But Britain still needs a proper cap on mega-donations.

Reform’s biggest donor has a £400m stake in major military contractor QinetiQ. Christopher Harborne has provided around two-thirds of Reform’s funding. No party aspiring to govern Britain should be this dependent on one billionaire with vested interests.

Funny how Reform UK love talking about accountability right up until Nigel Farage is the one being held accountable. Apparently the establishment must be challenged at every turn, unless it involves asking Nigel Farage to follow the same rules as every other MP.

Politics spends a lot of time telling us what people think. This time, we’re asking. We've joined the National Conversation, an effort to hear what worries people, what gives them hope, and what kind of country they want to live in. It takes around 7 minutes. Have your say.
