Exclusive Survation polling for Babelfish: 71% would back a total ban on political donations in a referendum, and just 22% think the current system is fair.

Just £50m a year in private donations controls the £3trillion UK economy. Public funding would cost the price of a packet of crisps per person. So why don't we?

Britain has over 150 billionaires, and no cap on what they can give a political party. The government's new bill is a historic chance to close the door for good.

Farage promised Dubai's elite "a Reform London will remember you" - on an undeclared trip hosted by billionaires who also entertain the Tate brothers.
