Challenging corruption, strengthening integrity, and fighting for a fair society based on the rule of law.
Last Monday, our CEO @danieljbruce.bsky.social joined the @ukanticorruptioncoalition.org panel event at the launch of the UK’s Anti-Corruption Strategy.

While it is a comprehensive effort to tackle corruption, more ambitious reforms are still desperately needed.

The UK just published its new anti-corruption strategy.

✅ The good: tackling corrupt insiders, professional enablers, kleptocracy.

❎ The gap: no donation caps, no revolving door enforcement—leaving Westminster open to the influence of big money.

The Anti-Corruption Strategy shows real ambition on kleptocrats and professional enablers.

But the UK can't fight dirty money abroad while big money corrupts our politics at home - no donation caps, no spending limits, unenforced revolving door.

🤔 Corruption may seem far away from our normal lives. But it’s actually in our communities, our economy, and our politics too.

🌍 It’s a whole-of-society problem that needs a whole-of-society solution.

This record-breaking donation shows how dependent our parties have become on a super-rich few. It reinforces the belief that money talks loudest in the corridors of power.

The Government promised to protect democracy. It's time to introduce a cap on political donations.
