👉 Thanks to a top piece of investigative work by Kabir Yusuf from @premiumtimesng.bsky.social we now know that the Lady Mayoress, Abigail Katung - who is also the wife of Nigerian Senator, Sunday Katung - is alleged to have used the black market to transfer funds to the UK to buy the property.

@spotlightcorruption.org will be keeping a close eye on what the government says in response to these questions and whether it sets a firm timeline for reform.

🤔 Read about what could be done to reform political finance rules here: www.spotlightcorruption.org/wp-content/u...

There's obviously lots of interest in this topic atm and the government is under pressure to say what it will do to close huge loopholes that allow non-UK voters (including a certain US billionaire) to potentially donate to British political parties.

3️⃣ And finally, on the Wednesday after next Lord Dubs will ask about "Controlling or limiting donations from abroad to British political parties": whatson.parliament.uk/event/cal50159

This all comes after political finance was a key topic at last weeks PMQs.

2️⃣On Thursday, MPs @joepowell.bsky.social and @amcarmichaelmp.bsky.social will ask about the "merits of banning foreign donations to UK political parties" and the "adequacy of the rules on donations by non-UK citizens to political parties": whatson.parliament.uk/event/cal49913
