Donations to political parties above the reporting threshold are lawful and are published by the Electoral Commission as a matter of routine.
Loro has made no approach to the company and draws no inference about the reasons for the donations. The figures above are as reported to the Electoral Commission by the recipients.
Correction, 29 September 2026: an earlier version of this article said the trust made five donations totalling £82,417 to two parties. It omitted two donations to Labour Campaign For Electoral Reform (C0833219 and C0836451), recorded under company number 0357963. The headline and figures have been corrected.
