Burnham Government Pledges Action On Political Mega-Donors. Prime Minister Andy Burnham's government is determined to tackle the influence of so-called "mega-donors" in British politics, a minister has said. Florence Eshalomi said a new team would work quickly to find a solution amid calls from MPs for an immediate cap on large political donations. There is currently no limit on how much UK-based individuals can give to political parties or politicians. The Labour government has already committed to a £100,000 annual cap on donations from British citizens living overseas but is facing pressure to introduce restrictions for domestic donors as well. Labour MP Stella Creasy said donations of £1 million or more from individuals and companies had surged over the past decade. Reform UK's Danny Kruger criticised proposed changes to election law, describing them as an attempt to damage his party.
