Where the money comes from

Ordered most-disclosed to least. marks sources that need not disclose who funds them.

Individuals — 60.6% · £3.5m (513 donations)named people on the electoral register
Public funds — 35.3% · £2.0m (138 donations)state funding (e.g. Short money)
Companies — 3.0% · £172k (31 donations)registered at Companies House — owners look-up-able
Other — 0.8% · £46k (9 donations)other / unclassified sources
Unincorporated associations — 0.4% · £20k (3 donations)under electoral law, need NOT disclose who funds them

What we can't see

0.4% (£20k) came via unincorporated associations, which under electoral law need not disclose who funds them. And money deliberately routed to hide its origin won't appear on this register at all. This is a limit of the public record — not an all-clear. What you see above is what's been declared; treat the faded end of the bar as "we can follow this less far", not as proof of anything.

We can also check where a company donor's owners are based (via Companies House), but not where an individual donor lives — the register doesn't publish it, and a UK-registered donor can be resident abroad. So a large individual donor based overseas would show here with no such note.

Each donation is a public Electoral Commission record. Company notes are from Companies House filings.

For the record — company donors

15 company donations (£37k) are from companies that file dormant or micro-entity accounts — i.e. their own filings disclose little financial detail.
0 donations in this window were recorded by the Electoral Commission as impermissible or returned.

Definitions and method: these are facts from each company's own Companies House record, shown without interpretation. "Based outside the UK" means the country of residence/registration recorded for a person with significant control — not a claim about the source of the money.

Dig deeper — where else to look

We focus on party-level money from the public record. For things we deliberately don't do — your MP's interests, lobbying, think-tank funding — these independent trackers do it well:
