LONDON - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservatives smashed the record for the amount of money raised in the first fortnight of an election campaign on Thursday , while the unions turned on the taps to keep the opposition Labour Party in touch.
Johnson, 55, hopes to win a majority on Dec 12 to push through the last-minute Brexit deal he struck with the EU last month after the bloc granted a third delay to the divorce that was originally supposed to have taken place on March 29. The support means Labour has also broken its own record for fundraising in the early stages of an election.
Despite the strong financial performance for the ruling party, Labour and the Liberal Democrats are currently outspending the Conservatives on Facebook adverts ahead of the election.
