We told Politics Home that ministers need to go further by capping all donations – "This is widely supported by the public and would help prevent our politics from being swamped with massive donations, which now frequently reach into the multiple millions".

Scandals, polls, promises. Rinse, repeat. Big money in politics enables corruption and erodes public trust. Next week MPs will debate the government's elections and democracy bill, and if they are willing, they can use that bill to finally do something about it. It's time for a cap on donations.
