Election watchdog probing £600,000 Labour donation for transparency breach

The UK’s election watchdog is probing a major donor to the Labour Party over an apparent breach of transparency laws. Barnes & Richmond Labour Club and Institute donated £598,000 to Labour in December 2022. The organisation is listed by the central party as an unincorporated association, a legal term for organisations that aren’t registered companies or other formal bodies. But the Barnes and Richmond Labour Club doesn't appear in the register of unincorporated associations despite having donated more than half a million pounds to Labour. As a result, it has not accounted for the source of these funds, although its former secretary told openDemocracy the cash had come from the sale of the club building itself. Documents at the Land Registry confirm that the four-storey townhouse in Church Road, Richmond, was sold in 2018 and turned into flats.
