Not only admit where the money came from, but show where is is now and what it is being used for. No wonder nobody trusts politicians any more. Can Mr Burnham change things?
So if all political donations were capped at £1000 per individual and election expenses were paid by the Treasury, I wonder whether such an arrangement would prevent fraud and corruption? Oh and sending offenders to prison, too <looking at you Farage!>
"... We need a funding system that rewards parties for building broad public backing, ..." Limit donations to each parties standard membership subscription. One registered voter - one subscription - per year.
If, as we are told, deform is a company rather than a political party, surely they should be paying tax on m0ney received and, if the are NOT paying, the Inland Revenue should be investigating them for TAX EVASION.
Every MP should only sit in the commons with the support of more than 50% of those voting in their constituency. A single transferable voting system ensures this by progressively redistributing the 2nd (3rd, 4th) preference votes of the least supported candidate(s) until one candidate achieves the 50% threshold.
This is the only way to squeeze sleaze out of our politics. That and capping donations at £1,000 per person.
He seems to think/believe he is immune from any lawful regulation because he has the backing of Trump and Musk. But all the legal loopholes open to them all, allow free rein for them all. Will they all agree to restraints on themselves and their nice little earners?!?

It's way past the time that action wa taken on the hate-filled, racist politics of Farage and his gang. Britain is better than this.

I'd like to introduce a bit of mathematics into politics, given that the following equation has proved to be true;
Reform+Tories=Hypocrites
