š· BIG MONEY CORRUPTS POLITICS
In 2015, Ā£1m donations made up just 1% of political donations. By 2024? They made up more than a third.
Today, it was put straight to the PM: the Election's Bill doesn't go far enough.
Itās time to cap donations & end big money in politics

NEW: Russia's invasion of Ukraine prompted a reckoning with the UK's role as a hub for illicit Russian finance.
But how effective has the UK's response been? 4 years on, our experts are warning that the fight against Russian kleptocracy remains.

The Anti-Corruption Strategy shows real ambition on kleptocrats and professional enablers.
But the UK can't fight dirty money abroad while big money corrupts our politics at home - no donation caps, spending limits, unenforced revolving door.
