Polling from @moreincommonuk.bsky.social and @transparencyuk.bsky.social has shown that four in five voters believe that money buys political influence in the UK - and they're dead right. Influence in our democracy can be bought for less than the price of a premier league footballer. (1/2)
Our CEO Ben Rich, with Health on the High Street programme lead Hani Salih, visited the @huddersfielduni.bsky.social new health and innovation building today to benefit from some of their insights!
As we launch our #PoliticsNotForSale campaign to push for a cap on political donations, our Political Reform Lead writes on the importance of acting now to limit the influence on UK politicians that can be bought for less than the price of a footballer🤑
Recently, huge donations to political parties have dominated the headlines 📰 Billionaires are buying their way to political power and that must stop 🤑 🚨 So we're launching a campaign to amend the Representation of the People Bill to introduce a cap on political donations🚨

It's clear that not only are billionaires buying their way into our democracy, but that the British public recognise that this is unfair. Politics should work for everyone - not just those with money.
