      >The Labour Party raised almost £4.4m in the second full week of the general election campaign – close to 15 times the amount brought in by the Tories.

      >Rishi Sunak’s party took in just under £300,000 between 6 and 12 June.

      Haha. This is the first election campaign in history – including 1997 – in which Labour has out-fundraised the Tories – and that too in large donations.

      Since Labour winning is pretty much a foregone conclusion I wonder what they are buying.

      Businesses and billionaires have got to fund the new guy so they can have control over him when in power.

      Buying their leverage as we speak.

      It’s good to see the tories done but not exactly inspiring when rich people have so much sway over parties.

      That’s partly because they won’t stop emailing members asking for money. I want them to win but christ they’re coming off as needy at this point.

      Real glad they are rasing all this cash off regular voters, and not just taking bags of cash from ghouls who’d stab my cat and my nan If they had an easy way to turn a profit off it.

      I’m sure labour taking all this cash from the private sector will mean they’ll not be influenced by them at all.

      Headline should read: Efforts to buy influence over next government gather pace.

      Donations equal favours, big corporations and rich people don’t give a political sorry money out of charity or ideological love, they don’t because the ROI is good. Everyone knows Starmer will win which means everyone knows he’s the guy that needs bribing. Hell it’s so ingrained that we call open and legitimised bribery “lobbying”.

      Well why wouldn’t they? The conservatives are ruined, no point putting money into a sinking ship.

      Seems only logical businesses will try and butter their own bread.
