This morning the Electoral Commission published details of donations to political parties in Q3 2011.
The Labour Party is grateful to all our donors. The Labour Party’s biggest donor is our members – this includes the 65,000 new members that we have gained since the start of the General Election campaign and under Ed Miliband’s leadership.
Under Ed Miliband’s leadership and during the General Election campaign we dramatically increased membership by recruiting 65,000 new members. This has hugely strengthened the Labour Party’s fundraising capability.
