A total of £5.8m was raised by the various political parties between 6 and 12 June. Most of this was by the Labour Party, with Reform and the Liberal Democrats both outstripping the Conservatives.
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. Reform UK raised more than double this figure, with £742,000 taken. However, £500,000 of this money was handed over by Britain Means Business, a company run by Reform's deputy leader Richard Tice.
Who gave the parties the most money? Digging into the breakdown from the Electoral Commission, we can see a bit more about who gave the different parties the most money. As mentioned, Reform's biggest donor is a company run by their deputy leader. A man called David Lilley also gave the party £100,000, and another notable contributor was Holy Vukadinovic - the maiden name of model Holly Valance - who gave £50,000.
