Story summary

Restore Britain’s £2.5 million cash is undisclosed because assets at registration in February 2026, filed by Rupert Lowe, are exempt from donation-transparency rules.
The government will cap overseas voter donations at £100,000 while Labour MP Yuan Yang has tabled an amendment to require parties to disclose bank accounts and cap capital at £250,000.
