“The BVI stands out in terms of criminals and kleptocrats funnelling #DirtyMoney through shell companies there - it is lagging behind other British territories [in] tackling the problem” Rachel Davies Teka Transparency International UK #AntiCorruption #Corruption #BVI   politico.eu/article/virgin…

🗣️ "There are still too many loopholes in our political financing rules which allow money of unknown provenance... to enter our democratic system.” @Rose_Whiffen spoke to the Byline Times on the need for stronger rules on political donations. bylinetimes.com/2024/08/14/fro…

🗣️ "We'd be more likely to be able to adequately monitor their activity if we had a comprehensive lobbying register in this country." Duncan Hames spoke to John Pienaar on Times Radio last night about new delays to the proposed foreign influence registration scheme.

🗣️ “That it can be so hard to identify where corporate donors' money comes from shows there's something seriously wrong with the rules.” Steve Goodrich told Peter Geoghegan @ democracyforsale.uk why we need a tightening of the rules on the sources of corporate donations. democracyforsale.substack.com/p/robert-jenri…

A good argument here from Polly Toynbee in The Guardian for the PM to reform party funding. We Transparency International UK welcomed Labour's manifesto comitment to stengthen the rules around donations to political parties. There's much they could now do. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

🗣️ "We in the Transparency International global movement see it being used to target civil society including our own colleagues in other parts of the world." Earlier this week Duncan Hames warned John Pienaar about the potential pitfalls of a foreign influence registration scheme.
