AI Summary

long article 14 min

The UK government is publishing a review of foreign financial interference in UK politics. As part of a crackdown on political funding, new rules are taking effect immediately, including a moratorium on cryptocurrency donations to political parties and a cap of £100,000 per year on individual donations from Britons living abroad. The legislation implementing these changes will be retrospective. Labour's Steve Reed stated the measures aim to prevent "malign actors" from exploiting loopholes. Reform UK's Richard Tice claims the donation crackdown shows Labour is "absolutely terrified" of his party's success. Other news includes PMQs, debates on energy support, and a study on social media curbs for teenagers.
