A migration policy organisation funded five MPs across four parties in the space of nine months, Electoral Commission records show.
The Refugee, Asylum and Migration Policy Project — registered as RAMP, company number 12373468 — made ten reported donations totalling £78,046.11 between 1 September 2025 and 1 May 2026.
The recipients were Chris Murray and Dr Olivia Blake (Labour), David Simmonds (Conservative), Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat) and Tony Vaughan (Labour). The largest individual payments were £13,400 to Tim Farron on 1 May 2026 (EC reference NC0838545) and £13,000 to Chris Murray on 1 September 2025 (NC0833227). Three separate payments of £9,945 each were accepted on 1 April 2026 by David Simmonds, Dr Olivia Blake and Tony Vaughan.
Donations to individual members are reported separately from party funding and are recorded against the member rather than the party, which is why cross-party patterns of this kind are not visible in party-level totals.
Support of this nature is lawful and declared. Organisations funding members across party lines is a recognised feature of policy advocacy in Westminster, and the register records it as a matter of course. Loro draws no inference about any member's conduct.
