UK corporate donor pages now link directly to their corresponding Companies House registry profile. Note: Links are generated from the company registration numbers reported by the Electoral Commission. Any upstream reporting discrepancies will reflect in the linked record.

Adding the reported £36m (~€42.1M) Reform UK donations: - Harborne & Delo move to #1 & #2 for singular donations over 19 tracked countries - Mineralogy stays in #1 in cumulative donations (€174.7M), followed by Harborne at #2 (€73.4M) and Delo at #4 (€51.4M). Q3 2026 EC figures remain pending

I've added cross-border comparison views to the root page: - Largest single political donations across tracked registers - Largest cumulative donations by individual and corporate donors All amounts are normalized to EUR to enable direct international comparison. Public funding is excluded.

Put against historic totals since 2010, the reported £72m from Delo and Harborne exceeds the total private donations received by all UK political parties combined in almost every calendar year. Only three years recorded higher nationwide totals: 2019, 2023, and 2024.

Context on Reform UK's £72m donations from Ben Delo & Christopher Harborne (£36m each): • 2025 (all parties, excl. public funds): £49.7m • 2024 election year (all parties, excl. public funds): £83.9m Two donors gave Reform more in 48h than all UK parties accepted in 2025.

I have rolled out the first iteration of donation filters on donation.watch . You can now narrow down political donation data on year, donor, and party pages by specific subsets (years, parties, donation types, or donor types).

Individual donor concentration was highly pronounced for certain parties. For Reform UK, just two individuals, Christopher Harborne (£3m) and Ben Peter Delo (£4m across two entries) contributed 75% of the party's total quarterly intake.

DonationWatch @donation.watch · 04/06/2026
Insights into the Q1 2026 update: Reform accounted for 44% (£9m) of all new funds in this update. This is larger than the combined received by both the Conservative and Labour parties (£8m). The Liberal Democrats recorded the highest volume with 266 individual donations (£2m).

I've added initial support for visualizing donation types. This is currently only supported by the Latvian and UK donor pages. With this change the Latvian dataset also tracks more than "money" donations. Previously membership, joining fees and in-kind donations were filtered out

We found a suspicious site masquerading as a Reform UK Welsh regional branch ahead of the #Senedd2026 elections. Technical audits revealed Russian-language metadata that was scrubbed live while we investigated. Following our report, the site is now flagged as a threat.

If you are building agents or using LLMs for research, they can now query our political donation data directly without needing to scrape HTML. We’ve added an llms.txt, an OpenAPI spec, and a root data index to DonationWatch.

A outlier in the Q4 2025 Electoral Commission data. Christopher Harborne has given a further £3m to Reform UK. Combined with his £9m donation, he gave £12m in 2025, making him the biggest donor. His contributions make up 24% of the total to ALL parties in 2025. #UKPolitics

We've noticed users trying to compare donations by jumping between individual party pages. That's why we just deployed the first iteration of the new Party Comparison tool! We're starting with tabular data for now. Let us know what you think. e.g., for the UK 🇬🇧: donation.watch/en/unitedkin...

The first iteration of UBO (Ultimate beneficial owners) support is now live. For some Dutch donors from 2024, you can now see them on the individual donor pages. This is displayed as declared in the Dutch dataset. #Transparency #OpenData

First version of the bar chart race generator is now live for countries with time series data. Customize by year range and group by party or donor. You can find it in the tools section e.g. donation.watch/en/unitedkin... for UK. Would love to hear your feedback and ideas! #DataVisualization #DataViz

I've added the first tool to the website. This tool allows you to simply download all the whole donation dataset that's used in DonationWatch to do whatever you want with it. See e.g. donation.watch/en/unitedkin...

Seems like the biggest change to Reform UK was a £9,000,000.00 contribution from Christopher Harborne who has now given at least £19,190,000.00 to Reform UK.

New in the UK dataset: a donor type view that groups party donations by individuals, companies, and more, using the Electoral Commission’s official categories.

Heading into Estonia’s municipal elections on 19 Oct 2025, the newly updated dataset (+€1.4M) from the Erakondade Rahastamise Järelevalve Komisjon (ERJK) shows the biggest monthly spike in party donations this year.

I've started playing around with racing bar charts. This example shows 10 years of political donations in Australia (2014 - 2024). It shows how funding patterns shift over time. I'll make the tool available for all countries after polishing it a bit further. #DataViz #Australia #Donations

Update to the UK dataset: * Normalized “Ltd” and “Limited” * Handled trailing “(The)” in company names These should improve aggregating and searching across records. For example, “Association of Conservative Clubs” appeared in various forms as separate donors.

Thanks for mentioning this. I’ve improved the dataset: * normalized his company names (Ltd, Limited) to track more donations * linked First Corporate Consultants with First Corporate Shipping (both tied to Mordaunt per UK gov) donation.watch/en/unitedkin...

I've added a cumulative donations chart to individual donor pages. This makes it easier to see how donation patterns change over time.

Hi, I'm currently working on enhancing individual donor pages and adding a time series chart to show donation amounts over time. For "Henroth Investments Pty Ltd," it will look something like this.

I've added a quick overview of similar donors to donor pages. If you know anything that should be connected, I'd love to add them. It's manual work so it's currently just a small network of relations. Next I want to add a separate donor cluster page where one look at them similar to singular donors
