The Conservative party is facing such a crunch in its election funding that it may be forced to fundraise from hardliner Brexiters, according to a new report.
In 650 constituency seats across the UK, each political party is legally allowed to spend a maximum of £30,000 for their candidate. This means Labour and Conservatives can spend up to £19.5m during the election period.
Labour’s finances are in rude health, thanks to a huge influx of new members. The party paid off its debts in 2015.
