Ahead of a new report into political party donations from the Electoral Commission today, the Conservative Party has revealed the names of those belonging to its most exclusive dinner party guestlist.

In a page on its website that boasts of how the Tories “unlike Labour… are not funded by trade unions”, the party has listed the 32 people who pay a minimum of £50,000 a year for access to the Prime Minister himself, along with a host of other senior Conservative ministers.’
