Rishi's £60,000 from tax haven linked donors

They helped fund his leadership bid

- JOHN SIDDLE

DONORS with links to offshore tax havens helped fund Rishi Sunak’s Tory leadership campaign. 

He accepted at least £60,000 from seven companies and individuals with links to the Cayman Islands, Luxembourg, Jersey, Bermuda and the British Virgin Islands, records show.

There is no suggestion the Prime Minister did anything wrong in accepting the donations, which were in line with the ministerial code.

But it will raise fresh questions over his political judgement.

Tax Justice UK chief Robert Palmer said last night: “Tax havens have no place in our politics.

“The Prime Minister should end the loopholes associated with these jurisdictions and consider paying back any money received from them.”
