Our letter for the party leaders

11th June 2026
Dear Party Leader,

More than £20 million was donated to political parties in the first three months of 2026 alone. The majority of this money came from a small number of wealthy mega-donors. 

The public wants to see big money kicked out of politics for good. ‍A recent poll shows over 9 out of 10 voters support a cap on political donations.

The Representation of the People Bill must introduce an annual donations cap to ensure that political parties answer to voters, not to a handful of wealthy donors.

Please call on your MPs to get behind an amendment to the Bill which would establish a donations cap.

Yours sincerely,

Tom Brake

CEO
