About this episode
Nigel Farage is under fire over his £5 million gift from a crypto billionaire – but does British politics have a wider money problem? MPs earn a salary of just shy of £100,000 but for many that's just a sliver of the total pay packet. Side hustles, political gifts and personal donations can add millions more a year. So how does it all work – and where’s the line? Dr. Sam Power of the University of Bristol, one of the country’s leading experts on party political funding and corruption, joins Seth Thévoz to decipher who really pays your MP.
