Interesting: the Tories and the Brexit Party are the main beneficiaries but nobody's clean...

The sooner this kind of lobbying is cleaned up the better.

I agree. But it's not just a UK thing. Be it party funds or spending on those with influence lobbying them. I bet oil companies are heavily involved too.

Airbus 26th, Rolls Royce 37th .. Google won of course. But these are those that do it publically, most hide behind a lobby group. 

I'd rather a party was publically paid or funded in plain sight, than those mps who have their travel expenses paid by a foriegn country just a few quid below the declarable amount so they can attend a commemoration of Munich terrorists. 

Labour should source some party funding from Quakers oats as everyone would be living on gruel if they enacted their first 100 day plan.

My post was about donations from industry and was non-party political. Why are you singling out Corbyn here? It would be easy to single out malpractice from the other parties, but that wouldn't suit your agenda would it?

Surely, if your point was non party political, you wouldn't have felt the need to mention the Tory and Brexit parties?

This looks a little political 

Oh and this...  how political is non political, before becomes political?

I just added a brief summing up rather than dumping a link without context. That’s all.
