Westminster Accounts: Who’s behind the money?

Sky News Daily

10-01-2023 • 30 mins

For decades, if you wanted to find out how much a wealthy donor, a big company, or a union has pumped into our political system, you'd need to study dozens of entries in several editions of the register of members’ interests.

All of this information was clouded in opaque language and difficult for most voters to access. Now, Sky News and our partners at Tortoise Media have been working to change that, so we can all follow the flow of money through our political system.

On the Sky News Daily, host Niall Paterson heads back into Westminster with deputy political editor Sam Coates and political producer Tom Larkin to take a closer look at exactly who is donating to our political parties, and individual MPs.

Donors include an investment firm, MPM Connect, which gave £345,200 to three Labour MPs and the northern internet company, IX Wireless, who donated £138,800 to ‘Red wall’ Tories.
