This list focuses on donations by rich individuals, whether those are made directly in their name or through a company that they own. Richard Tice donated via the company he owns, Tice Investments Ltd. Lord Bamford donated personally and via his companies, JCB Sales Ltd and JC Bamford Excavators Ltd. Kamal Pankhania donated personally and via his companies, Westcombe Homes Ltd and Westcombe Developments Ltd. Michael Spencer donated via his company, IPGL Ltd.

On that basis the following donations do not appear in the Top 10 list, but we did feel they needed to be referenced in our notes:

• MOU Operations Ltd donated £600,000 to Your Party in 2025. Zarah Sultana MP is a Director of the company, and also donated £70,067.82 to Your Party through Zarah Sultana Campaigns Ltd in 2025. Our understanding is these donations are a transfer of membership funds collected by Zarah Sultana’s companies.
• Labour Together Ltd donated £396,867.32 to the Labour Party in 2025, in consultancy and services to the party. We do not have a breakdown of who donated to Labour Together in order to specifically fund these items. It is possible that donors who have donated to the Labour Party through Labour Together have donated enough money to make our Top 10 list, but we do not have the data to assess this.
