Sky News and Tortoise have collated data on all the donations declared by MPs this parliament, and where they come from.
Media entrepreneur and Blairite Lord Waheed Alli also gave him £100,000 for his campaign. In November, it was revealed Lord Alli will head up Labour's fundraising efforts for the next election.
There is an onus on MPs to check donations - of money, goods, property or services - of more than £500 are from"permissible sources" and they must be reported to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards within 28 days of accepting them. Donations can also be accepted for campaigning for an MP to be on a committee, campaigning for a party candidate to be selected and promoting policies with a view to their party adopting them.Brandon Lewis, Northern Ireland Secretary under Boris Johnson and Conservative Party chairman before that, received £266,334.
Former Lib Dem leader Tim Farron is 11th on the list, with £259,997 in donations but what is unusual is his highest donor - who gave £154,072 for staff and office support.
