Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

yes thanks though it's been strange indeed ..... fun to tell, but too long to write :-)

If they auction pint of Champagne with the autograph of Maggie on it for £40000 and the bottle has been donated to the the "club" and the club gives the proceeds to the "party funds", I think it circumvents the rules of £7500 and is a perversion of the the intent of the rules.

It stinks like the present cabal supported by Haze and his ilk.

I hope there is an enquiry into the the "donations" to the CON party and any associated tax avoidance schemes.

Now that Hays is here back to Sleezy tory funding......

: Interactive – Who sat with whom at the Conservative Summer Party

The Tories have been criticised in the past for taking money from organisations which lack clarity about the identity of their donors. The Midlands Industrial Council, an organisation based in a small Lincolnshire village, was for years used to channel money to the party from wealthy businessmen who wanted to keep their donations private.

“The Tories have learned the language of modern government,” said Tamasin Cave of Spinwatch who leads the Alliance for Lobbying Transparency coalition. “They talk about transparency and fairness but the reality is they are continuing with an antiquated way of doing things, like secret donor clubs.”

A Tory spokesman said: “All donations to the Conservative party are properly and transparently declared to the Electoral Commission, published by them, and comply fully with Electoral Commission rules.”

Analysis by the Bureau reveals that hundreds of thousands of pounds have already been donated to Tory candidates ahead of next year’s election, one that polsters suggest may produce the tightest result in living memory.

TORY PARTY FUNDS IN THE 20 MOST MARGINAL SEATS

With Labour having to rely largely on the unions for funding, the Bureau’s analysis shows that leading Tory hopefuls are powering ahead in the sums raised.

Political funding and the way this money is raised has been thrown into sharp relief following the Tories’ annual fundraising dinner, held last week at the exclusive Hurlingham Club in south west London.

The event proved a huge money-spinner with oligarchs, Middle Eastern businessmen and City financiers vying to bid huge sums at an auction that raised, according to those there, £500,000 for David Cameron’s party.

At this year’s dinner a Russian banker – the wife of a former Kremlin deputy finance minister - paid £160,000 to play tennis with David Cameron and Boris Johnson. A bottle of champagne signed by Margaret Thatcher went for £45,000 with a pot of honey fetching £20,000.

ALL UNDECLARED FUNDING AND WHAT DID IT BUY THEM?????????????????


SLEAZE SLEAZE SLEAZE SLEAZE SLEAZE SLEAZE.

Russian banker pays £160,000 to play tennis with David Cameron and Boris Johnson

Bids were made using ‘spotters’ who patrolled the event carrying wands. When a bid was placed a wand was illuminated.

The total sum raised from this year’s event is currently unknown. But last year’s fundraiser, attended by 449 guests who sat at tables costing up to £12,000 each, ​saw a £1.1m spike in donations in the week following the event​, according to filings registered with the Electoral Commission and analysed by the Bureau.

Much of this money is finding its way to the marginal seats which have hitherto benefited from former Tory party treasurer Lord Ashcroft, who has given the party millions of pounds down the years, but has now turned off the tap, according to his spokesman.

The Bureau’s analysis shows that, since the last election, some £321,182 has gone to Tory candidates contesting the 20 most marginal seats in Britain – compared with just £74,545 to their Labour rivals.

The Lib Dems have spent more than £183,000 across the same 20 seats – their figures are skewed by £84,000 ploughed into fighting Dorset Mid and Poole North.

Camoron telling porkies again at PMqs over the health service, all hes done is repeat last weeks lies and he get called to order YET AGAIN.
