Declared donations

As the Electoral Commission's published declarations reports print them; above the disclosure threshold only

No declaration naming this party appears in the Commission’s published reports on the record (2021/22 onwards). Donations below the disclosure threshold are not published by law, so this is not a statement that the party received nothing.
