“The Conservative Party made more money in 2017 from dead people than it did from its living members, as the Labour Party surged ahead in fundraising.
The party earned £835,000 last year from its membership, but brought in £1.7m from “legacies”.
Over all the Tories had an income of £45,947,000, compared to Labour’s £55,793,000.
Figures published by the Electoral Commission on Tuesday showed Labour had raked in £16.2m in membership fees. …”
Personally I think that the number of donors would be more interesting that the amounts.

But Labour earning almost 20x as much from membership certainly says a lot!!
