Revealed: property developers behind ‘breakfast club’ that donated £130,000 to Labour

Funding from property firms raises questions over loopholes in political finance rules

A secretive group that donated £130,000 to Labour and claimed to be “merely a platform for people” is in fact funded by property developers, the Observer can reveal.

The firm behind a £200m project to build a skyscraper in Birmingham and three other developers are behind the West Midlands Breakfast Club, which gave money to Labour in February.
