"The UK Conservative party is struggling to attract money from its big financial backers, with internal concerns growing about how it could fund a snap general election campaign. Disquiet is rife among the party’s donors over Theresa May’s leadership, the lack of a clear policy agenda and paralysis over Brexit.

One of the Tory party’s leading fundraisers has told friends that after a successful year in fundraising, “January has been dry but not for alcoholic reasons”.

One former minister said the party should be concerned they have had “no donors since Christmas” and are “facing emerging financial difficulties”."
