Labour surges ahead of Tories in latest election donations

The figures mean the Conservatives raised £889,000 in the first two weeks of the official campaign, which began when Parliament was shut down on 30 May.

This is significantly down on the more than £8.6m the party raised in the first two weeks of the campaign in the last election in 2019.

The £292,500 it raised in the latest reporting period was less than the £335,000 posted by the Liberal Democrats.

It was also less than Reform UK, which raised £742,000, thanks largely to £500,000 donated by former leader Richard Tice through his company Britain Means Business Limited.

It stands in stark contrast to the £5.3m raised by Labour so far, including £926,908 during the first week of the campaign.

The Green Party posted a single £20,000 donation during the period.

The Scottish National Party (SNP), which raised £127,998 in the first week of the campaign, did not post any donations above the £11,180 declaration threshold.
