Ignoring the hypocracy of the RWMedia and the supposedly neutral BBC, all of whom were complicit in Tory corruption, this is not a simple issue.
If donations like these are banned, then logically all donations to MP’s campaigns should be banned as well – otherwise they could use them to buy clothes too!? If donations are banned then campaigns will be funded by the public purse, and then by what fromula? A sum per MP’ a sum on the share of the vote last time?
No of course not – just full transparency, as Labour has shown. The Mail is obsessed by Angela Rayner to the extent that she should report them for stalking her! She stays at a friends apartment in NY and is castigated as if that is corrupt, but Johnson staying at an ex-KGB officers villa, or holidaying on a private Caribbean Island is absolutely OK. “Good old Boris”! I also notice that most leading Tories are keeping quiet about this! I wonder why!!
