Labour dropped plan to ban foreign donors after Waheed Alli intervened, book claims
Briefly

Labour's proposal to ban foreign political donations was reportedly dropped following pressure from Waheed Alli, a key fundraiser for the party.

This decision came despite Labour receiving significant funding from offshore firms. A leaked document reveals internal conflicts over the proposal, raising concerns about political donations' influence. Ultimately, Labour is still exploring ways to tighten donation regulations, with recommendations to cap individual and corporate contributions.
