It's no surprise Tories topped the #WestminsterAccounts donations list.
But senior Labour MPs were also exposed for taking massive donations from shell companies.
On dark money, Labour must lead from the front. Demand @wesstreeting@twitter.com & co return the money: http://mtm.is/darkmoney

Someone said on Sky News this morning - I think it was Liz Bates - that while many MPs asked about #SamCoates's #WestminsterAccounts items was a good thing, once the cameras got switched off they told Sky News what they really think: they're angry. This is excellent. Keir Starmer is as angry as Rishi Sunak is: both of them are funded by strike breaking rich businessmen. Both want to crush trade unionists. Neither is worthy of my vote. #EnoughIsEnough #SocialistSunday #Ridge

The Westminster Accounts is essentially a database of databases.
But fact that all of this data was already public meant that collating it all couldnβt be that hard, right?
Wrong. Very wrong.
Read how @tortoise@twitter.com and @SkyNews@twitter.com created and developed the #westminsteraccounts.

π° βNEW: Boris Johnson has just declared a HUGE Β£1 million donation from crypto investor Christopher Harborne to his personal company.
Harborne previously donated Β£13.7m to Reform UK.
Johnson also declared Β£20k from the Bamfords for use of their home for 2 months. In the #WestminsterAccounts database, the MP with the most donations was Keir Starmer at Β£740k.
Boris Johnson just beat that in a SINGLE donation. β From Tom Larkin, Sky News.
Sky #News and Tortoise have created a first-of-its-kind database that follows the money in politics.

Is anybody still surprised at the lack of transparency and the level of corruption and lobbying this enables?
Reality these days is worse and stranger than fiction. We cannot even imagine what is really happening behind closed doors.
The thing is people got so used to the idea of being effed over, they don't really care anymore.
Millions are funnelled via obscure organisations and shell companies to advance special interests, yet nurses can't get a pay rise.

@Peternimmo You know, the #WestminsterAccounts tool from Sky News has really shone a light in the murkier recesses. I'd missed this story, thanks for sharing.
@rmdes I had the same thought a while back, but didn't do anything other than muse on it. Thanks for sharing!
The phrase "who pays the piper plays the tune" came to mind, could be a tagline?
This project looks at the funding of UK politicians:

Some global analysis for news orgs like that could complement what an extension can do.

I've spent a long time praising #SamCoates. His #WestminsterAccounts broadcasts are incredible and deserving of awards. However, do I never disagree with anything he says? Of course not. I've not spent any time drawing attention to any differences since he's not got a Mastodon account to allow him to tell me if he accepts my criticisms or why he disagrees. These differences are too narrow to focus on them at this stage. They are details. At a later date I may challenge something he says. Maybe.

Dodgy donors strike again, but with the help of @SkyNews@twitter.com's new #WestminsterAccounts tool, you can see exactly who is getting what and from who, like 3 Labour right wingers accepting hundreds of thousands from a company that barely exists...#DamoRants https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMFEaQwXu/

The steady drip of #WestminsterAccounts stories is fascinating and shocking in equal measure but the big picture is that while transparency is good real reform is urgently required. Our latest blog proposes 3 essential areas where we need change now:
1β£Genuine electoral finance reform. Removing big money from politics from whatever source is central to defending UK democracy and all parties should be looking to develop a consensus on how to do this.

The SNP's Stephen Flynn describes it as "utterly perverse" that senior Conservatives are "feathering their nests" by charging money for outside engagements, "whilst seeking to deny working people the opportunity to strike for fair pay" #PMQS http://bloom.bg/3GA4kjW
