Has Labour just accepted the case for a political #donations cap?

When Labour expelled a large percentage of paying members they consigned themselves to fishing in the same pool as Reform, and the Tories. Now they are trapped in a bed of their own making as all the large donations are going elsewhere.
Labour sending out fundraising emails off the back of the Harborne and Delo donations. Yes chaps, that’ll do it.

Is it wrong to wonder how much Reform could receive in donations before any of the major parties actually take action?
Reform have made £72m from two donors in a single day.
Absolutely obscene.
And Labour refuse to cap political donations.

Hard to shake the impression that the overriding sentiment in Tories and Labour to the Reform donations was envy rather than concern about our democratic system….

What I love about Western democracy is you can bung a political party £ 36 million earned from criminal activity & most media will continue to point at asylum seekers & migrant care workers with families as the barbarians at the gate we need to defend ourselves from 🙄.

Labour and Burnham have been silent on capping political donations while Reform gets £72 million from Farage's billionaire mates.
We need @zackpolanski.bsky.social in Parliament to hold Labour to account, not another Labour backbencher to wave through Burnham's policies without scrutiny.

If Burnham doesn't do something to limit donations, we're all royally screwed. These won't be the last donations Reform or their ilk will receive if nothing is done.
Farage is backed by billionaires and much of the press. The fight is on for our liberal democracy.

There are a ton of reasons why mandatory ID cards are a terrible idea, especially if it's run by an awful American data mining org like Palantir.
