EXCLUSIVE: A Labour Party group with links to Keir Starmer is being investigated for failing to declare hundreds of thousands of pounds in donations.

EXCLUSIVE: Labour Together is under investigation by the Electoral Commission for alleged breaches of electoral law.

The investigation into Labour Together, which counts among its current directors' the Shadow Foreign Secretary Lisa Nandy MP and Shadow Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government Steve Reed MP, was opened in December 2020. The Electoral Commission is also investigating a potential failure to register a responsible person within 30 days of accepting a reportable donation.

Figures published by the Electoral Commission in December 2020 show 19 donations for a total of £465,500. None of these donations appear to have been received in the 30 days prior to their reported date of 10th December 2020. They range from June 2018 to September 2020. A former managing director of Labour Together is Morgan McSweeney, who is now Sir Keir Starmer's chief of staff. Companies House records for the company behind Labour Together show McSweeney was secretary from July 2017 to April 2020, when Starmer became leader of the Labour Party.
