Nice to see lessons have been learned from the last lot.
CASH FOR CROISSANTS Labour faces fresh row after offering companies breakfast with Business Secretary for £30,000
I'm all for business leaders being engaged with Government but it shouldn't just be those with deep enough pockets to be willing to pay for it.
What is it with charging money for access to politicians?

THAT'S the Stewie we know and love.
Clearly food's the trigger. But now you have been let's see the outpouring of threads. It'll be cathartic for us all
(The bigger issue for the front bench will be Lord Alli asking for a refund... "£30k? I spunked over 10x that and got a birthday party and told to sit in the corner at meetings")

They need to generate money.
Was listening to an interesting idea to ban all this and fund the parties from the public purse. Each year, every citizen gets allocated cash they can give to the political party of their choice. People who don’t allocate to a party, their cash gets divided out equally.
The idea was, this would make politics more beholden to normal people rather than rich political donors.

Short article giving the low down on how political parties are funded. Short money from the public purse comes nowhere near covering the expenses of a large political party. They must go hat in hand to ask for hand outs.
