Labour MPs to rebel on political funding reforms, demanding tougher measures

According to The Guardian, Labour MPs are planning to rebel next week against their government's proposed political funding reforms. The MPs, working through an all-party anti-corruption group, say the government's measures don't go far enough. They're pushing for four amendments to the Representation of the People Bill that include a ban on cryptocurrency donations—a response to recent controversies involving crypto funding for politicians like Nigel Farage—and significantly lower spending limits on political campaigns. The rebellion highlights growing pressure within Labour for stricter oversight of how political parties are financed.
