This does not prove contracts were bought, but it shows exactly why political donations and public procurement need far greater transparency.
I wonder if the contracts were put to full and proper tender or “gifted”!!
Donations listed are not huge amounts but still counts even if it £10.
These are just 8 of many.

President Trump hits the nail on the head: "You come from hellhole countries, and all you do is complain and play the victim—America doesn't need people like that. If you're unhappy, get the hell back to your own country and fix it yourselves."
The Telegraph's report today on Starmer's pro bono work to hound an innocent British veteran to near-suicide is just the tip of the iceberg.
Here are just some of his other projects:
R v Al-Fawwaz: Starmer defended Khalid al-Fawwaz, who was accused of conspiring with Osama bin Laden from 1993-98 to bomb US embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam - bombings which killed 224. Fawwaz was later convicted and extradited - he is currently serving a life sentence in the US.
Al-Jedda v Secretary of State: Keir Starmer represented terrorist Ali al-Jedda, who was linked to explosive plots and terror recruitment by UK forces. Starmer argued that the security services had withheld classified evidence from the court, and he was later released. In this case he teamed up with Lord Hermer, now his Attorney General. Jedda was later stripped of UK citizenship for possessing terrorist sympathies.
R v Shayler: Keir Starmer represented former MI5 officer David Shayler, who leaked 250 pages of classified documents to the Mail on Sunday, endangering 50 agents in post-Lockerbie Libya and pocketing £40k in the process. Starmer argued free speech under Article 10 ECHR overrode the Official Secrets Act. Shayler was later imprisoned regardless.
Roberts v Parole Board: As intervener for human rights group JUSTICE, Starmer fought for triple cop-killer Harry Roberts, who was convicted in 1966 for murdering three unarmed officers in Shepherd's Bush. After 35 years inside and drug-dealing in prison, his denial of parole prompted Starmer to seek a fairness claim under the ECHR. The appeal was later denied and parole not granted.
Stellato v Secretary of State: Perhaps Starmer's most notorious case, where he secured early release for arsonist Stellato, who had been jailed for 10 years for endangering ex-girlfriend's life in a revenge fire. As a result of Starmer’s work, taxpayers were also forced to pay Stellato £55k in damages due to a human rights claim and 15 more violent thugs were later freed on the same technicality. A few years later, Stellato received a life term for smuggling grenades.
Some will say that Starmer was obliged to take these cases under the ‘cab-rank rule’, but let’s remember, Starmer chose to be a human rights lawyer. These are exactly the type of cases he wanted to take on as a barrister. As the Telegraph story today proves, he took on cases to hound our veterans FOR FREE.
He has spent his career fighting for our enemies and criminals, prosecuting our soldiers. He then becomes Prime Minister and removes immunity from Troubles veterans.
It is no surprise that his record as Prime Minister is the same as his legal career. Fighting for our enemies, betraying our nation.
According to John, the reason why the BBC haven’t reported much on Iran is because they need to “carefully check” videos posted online.
However, they have no issue reporting every word that Hamas tells them.
Brilliant British engineers at Rolls Royce have pioneered Small Modular Reactors - each of which generate 470MW.
That’s enough to power a million homes for at least 60 years.
They’re compact, totally safe and emission-free.
Why is Britain not doing all it can to accelerate their installation?
Energy would be cheap and abundant, helping our economy boom and making British people richer.
Instead, our politicians inflict hardship on their people, forcing them to subsidise wind and solar to the tune of £300 per household per year for the last decade and giving them the most expensive electricity in the world.
Enough.
So if this Trump peace plan does go ahead and Hamas frees the hostages while Israel ends the bombing, withdraws the IDF to agreed lines and sends in more aid, then the protesters on our streets will be happy, right?
They'll end their marches and protests, right?
They'll be cheering for peace, right?
They'll stop attacking Britain Jews accusing them of responsibility for the "genocide" that isn't happening, right?
Because it's the innocent children in Gaza they care about, right?
Right...?
Canterbury Cathedral has decided to allow some graffiti.
The most magnificent example of human endeavour, defaced in the name of modern diversity. Instead of upholding its values and beautiful grace.
Oh England what have done 😩
Let’s be honest - if a Tory MP punched their constituent like Mike Amesbury did - they would be in jail
If a Tory councillor called for people to have their throats slit - they would also be in jail.
But both got away with it because they’re labour
It’s just the truth
Remember, that on the video where the Labour Councillor Ricky Jones said his vile comments, a woman from @amnesty international clapped and laughed, as did other women ‘ anti racist ‘ protesters.
These people aren’t very nice.
THESE PEOPLE ARE VILE HYPOCRITES
Told today about Ricky “cut their throats” Jones Lucy Connolly laughed.
“If I’d pleaded not guilty I’d still be on remand awaiting trial.”
True. Jones got bail and has been free for a year. Why?
2 Tier Keir. Starmer is in so much trouble. @Keir_Starmer
Man fears he won’t be allowed to cheat his way to the Olympics by playing against women. Man says anti-cheat sentiment is being ‘weaponised’ against men like him, who cheat. Read more here about why the cheating man is sad and why the women he might injure just don’t matter.
When Ricky Jones was granted bail in January Ray Connolly didn’t mention it to his wife Lucy in jail because he knew it would upset her.
The contrast with Lucy’s Stasi Starmer treatment - no bail, hasty harsh sentence - was too terrible.
Now this. Starmer is in trouble.
