New figures show that half of the 22 donors who signed a letter backing Boris Johnson have given the party more than $2 million.
An analysis of new data by the Electoral Commission shows that in the first quarter of this year 11 donors, their companies, or close family members gave the Labour party a further two million dollars. The figures have been reviewed by an Insider.
A letter shared with The Sun in the hours leading up to the vote of confidence in Johnson was signed by a number of donors.
Nadine Dorries cited the letter during her interview with Sky News.
If the prime minister is removed, the donors of the Conservative party will not support the party. A number of MPs need to hear that and understand what they're doing.
The donors who helped the Conservatives win the election need to hear that message.
Christopher Harborne, who had not given to the Conservative Party in over a year, was one of the largest donations from a letter. Harborne gave the Conservatives half a million dollars.
It is never good to have donors calling the shots when it comes to raising money, according to a Conservative MP who spoke to Insider.
The intervention from the donors before the vote of confidence shows who is calling the shots, according to the Labour party.
According to Anneliese Dodds, chair of the Labour Party, if the big donors want Boris Johnson to limp on then that will happen. They cared less about what was best for our country.
The Conservatives are proud to have the support of so many leading figures in British industry, according to a spokesman. They support the Conservatives because they understand what it takes to deliver growth and jobs and don't want Labour to trash the economy.
