Labour took more money from corporations – many owned by a single ultra-wealthy individual – than from unions ahead of the last general election for the first time ever, new analysis has found.

The figures, compiled by Democracy for Sale using Electoral Commission data, mark yet another milestone in the party’s decades-long departure from its working-class roots.

The party was founded in 1900 by trade unions and socialist groups, but in the year ahead of the 2024 election that brought Keir Starmer to power, it took £13.3m in corporate donations, more than the £10.6m it received from all trade unions combined.

Labour Together should be disbanded and there should be a criminal investigation over its funding and its manipulation of the party that brought Starmer to power.
