A billionaire playboy and a Russian oil tycoon1 were among dozens of mega-rich Tory donors2 who dined with David Cameron and his party pals3 this summer, explosive new documents reveal.
今年夏天，几十名保守党捐款巨头与英国首相卡梅伦及其他保守党政要共进晚餐，其中不乏亿万富翁和俄罗斯石油大亨。
A list published by the Conservatives today named more than 40 donors who paid at least £50,000 to attend "Dinners with Dave" between July and September.
They included Alexander Temerko, the energy tycoon wanted in Russia on fraud charges, and billionaire art
dealer4 James
Stunt5, whose wife Petra is the daughter of Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone.
The group has given the Tory Party a monster £17.4million since 2010.
Labour's Shadow Cabinet Office Minister Jon Ashworth
fumed6: "David Cameron leads a party with an ever-greater reliance on big money from a small number of mega-rich donors. Ministers' dinner dates with donors are boosting Tory coffers."
The revelation comes as political parties prepare to publish the latest
batch7 of donations on Thursday. It is expected to show that Tory finances were
swelled8 further by cash from some of the richest men in Britain.
But the party offers special privileges to anyone who pledges at least £50,000 a year. It buys access to the
elite9 "Leader's Group" of donors, who are invited to dinners with the Prime Minister or other top Tories.
