Count Binface alone can’t clean up British politics. MPs now have that chance, and they must seize it
Warns that rising large-scale political donations threaten democratic integrity and argues for a strict £100,000 annual limit on individual contributions. Highlights controversies involving major donors, loopholes in foreign-funded donation rules and concerns that wealthy individuals can circumvent existing safeguards. Calls on MPs to strengthen the Representation of the People bill by closing these gaps and ensuring that no donor, domestic or overseas, can exert disproportionate influence over UK politics.
