Ever wanted to know what your MPs receive in gifts and donations?

Sky News and Tortoise Media’s data journalism project Westminster Accounts has listed how much money MPs have received.

All MPs must declare any donations, gifts, payments and any other benefits they receive.

Top of the list are former prime minister Boris Johnson and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer. 

A total of £5,333,500 has been accepted by all London’s MPs since this parliament began in 2019, across 1,632 instances of donations, gifts or income from second jobs, Sky has said.

MPs are required to report both their own direct financial interests and any donations or other payments that are received by their local constituency party to support their work or election.

Here is the lowdown on all MPs on the Ham & High's patch. All are Labour Party members.

The Westminster North MP has declared six donations, gifts worth approximately £5,370 and come from both the GMB Union and Savanta Group.

The largest single item declared is a donation worth £5,000 from GMB Union.

Ms Buck is or has been an officer of 10 All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs), three of which receive no funding.

The biggest source of benefits for those seven APPGs are Legal Aid Practitioners Group, Enact Equality, The Public Affairs Company, Royal Town Planning Institute and the Board of Deputies of British Jews.

A spokesman for the Board of Deputies of British Jews said: “The Board of Deputies contribution to the APPG on British Jews is expressed in the perceived value of staff time contributed to the APPG. It does not give any money to the APPG and does not fund Parliamentarians.”

During the current parliament so far, Labour has received donations, gifts, and other payments and benefits from 165 sources worth at least £32.4 million, Sky said.

The Conservatives have received £ 76 million.
