    All via PayPal with no details recorded, so impossible to tell.

    The Electoral Commission has a duty under the Political
    Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (PPERA) to
    regulate political funding and spending. Section 145 of
    PPERA says that we ‘must monitor, and take all reasonable steps to secure, compliance with’ various aspects of
    PPERA.

    ...

    section 61(1) 'knowingly entering into or furthering an
    arrangement to facilitate making an impermissible donation'

    It's strange how the Brexit party is outspending all its rivals from small £25 donations.

    You can see how the Labour Party (like I presume other honest parties) as for name and address.

    Labour Donate

    Hopefully, Taz is intelligent enough to recognise the difference between this approach and the Brexit Party's.

    It's interesting why Nigel gets all worked up when he's asked about where the donations are coming from.

    Donations of all amounts are appreciated.

    Important Note regarding donations of £500.01 and over by individual persons:
    We can only accept Donations totaling £500.01 and over from an individual that is registered on the UK electoral register. If you are donating £500.01 or over, you must tick the box marked “Share your mailing address with The Brexit Party so they can acknowledge your donation.” during the PayPal Process. This enables us to confirm we can accept your donation.
