Labour took a £9 million donation from a foreign source Mr Chakrit Sakunkrit

[Notch7]

Are foreign donations like this ok??

-I dont think so myself, Im not very comfortable with lots of Labour donations, especially those that transferred from Tory party but least of all foreign interests

Nothing wrong with it, a donation. is a donation regardless where it comes from.

If it gets too hot in the kitchen, the donor could do a Bernie Ecklestone.

Labour took a £9 million donation from a foreign source Mr Chakrit Sakunkrit​

I find that surprising

He is the man who donated £9million to Reform.

and, before that, £10million to the Brexit Party.

And also to the Conservative party.

And £1 million to the office of Boris Johnson Ltd.

By chance, Boris Johnson awarded Qinetiq, a company in which Harborne was the largest single shareholder, a £80m Ministry of Defence contract in January 2023

Harborne goes by the name of Chakrit Sakunkrit in Thailand. I believe he hold dual British and Thai nationality.

"Anna Gross, Cynthia O’Murchu and Nikou Asgari in London
Published yesterday

...Harborne had made a critical promise to Farage: he would cover the Brexit party’s 2019 general election costs, according to messages between the Thai-based businessman and an associate seen by the Financial Times.

He ended up donating a total of £10mn to the Brexit party before and after the 2019 poll, money that allowed Farage to apply intense pressure on Westminster to withdraw fully from the EU.

Half a decade later, Harborne has filled Farage’s coffers again with a record £9mn donation that gives Reform a big war chest ahead of pivotal elections in May in Scotland, Wales and across English local councils...."

Bearing in mind that Qinetiq was a privatisation spun out of the MOD, who did all sorts of top secret MOD stuff, it would be a little bizarre if they didn't tender and win MOD contracts.

As an aside, that valuable Govt asset was privatised and re-labelled as Quinetiq under a Labour Govt.

In other news, I hear Thames Water are on a cliff edge.
