💷Introducing: The Westminster Accounts. Tortoise and Sky News have created a first-of-its-kind database showing the scale of money entering UK politics. Use our tool to search for your MP and find out who has given them money 👉 #westminsteraccounts

@SkyNews I wish this were the extent of it. I have no doubt that during the covid gold rush, the looting of the Treasury was rewarded with much,much more than a measly party donation. I genuinely believe there is money waiting for all these bandits offshore

@SkyNews It’s a shame you don’t provide info around donors, eg you claim Jeremy Corbyn has much cash from jbc defence, what you don’t say is this cash is direct contributions to his legal defence given by members of public. That’s v different to private health firms giving to starmer

@SkyNews This is an outstanding UK resource-good for democracy, accountability and journalism. And fascinating Aussie tidbits within: Teresa May got almost $70k in gifts from the Liberal Party of Australia (Victorian division). Almost $20k gift to Boris Johnson from Keith Rupert Murdoch.

@SkyNews Why would Private Healthcare give my MP a £2k donation ???

@natalieben @SkyNews 🧐

@SkyNews This is great thanks. Few niggles: • large composite balls in ‘explore’ are unlabelled so you don’t know what you are looking at • when it’s an individual donor a one liner about their business interests would be v.useful • ? A.Percy had more than £10k from Aquind 🥰

@SkyNews Handy tool. Dunno what the Web Devs are moaning about. Did a search on Scots Tory Leader Douglas Ross - he recvd £7,850 from Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs as 'Gift' - Scotland didn't qualify for the World Cup... Curious 🤔

@SkyNews Great research and tool but sorry to say the website design is terrible. The UX is very patronising and tedious, I couldve been a heavy user and sharer, but it makes me not want to use the tool at all.

@SkyNews Here is another outstanding resource, which shows you the political connections between unscrupulous #TaxAvoidance promoters / #umbrella companies who setup tax schemes for #freelancers, #NHS #Nurses, #Socialworkers who are being destroyed by #HMRC.
