Tom Tugendhat raised £120,000 for Tory leadership tilt

Tom Tugendhat raised more than £120,000 to fund his unsuccessful bid for the Conservative leadership, the latest register of MPs’ interests shows.

Liz Truss is yet to reveal who has donated to her campaign, while Rishi Sunak has so far declared only the use of some office space.

Former leadership hopefuls Penny Mordaunt, Nadhim Zahawi, Jeremy Hunt and Sajid Javid have yet to declare any financial support for their campaigns.

Along with frontrunner Ms Truss, they provided no updates relating to their leadership bids in the latest version of the Register of Interests.

MPs have 28 days from accepting a donation to declare it to the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner.

The latest update of the register covers the period up to 8 August.

The next update will, possibly, be interesting reading … :thinking:
