"Since Rishi Sunak became prime minister, anonymous dining clubs and special interest groups, set up as ‘unincorporated associations’, have funnelled millions into political parties. But who’s splashing the cash?"
@fkamiah17 That goes back ten years to Ben Elliot, Camilla’s nephew, turning his super-rich concierge and PR service into a bunch of meet-and-schmooze-and-write cheques dinner parties designed to get around the political contributions limits.
With a nasty overlap into the honours and patronage public appointments.
@ravensrod It's the first one that sprang to mind ... but I'd have thought it was already giving money hand over fist before 2022, given that at least two PMs have been recent members.
