Local MP Dr Evan Harris has called for an end to big-money donations in British politics, after the recent controversy involving the Conservative Party and its Shadow Chancellor, George Osborne.

Dr Harris said: "These unsavoury incidents will continue to happen until we get big money out of British politics.

"Wealthy individuals should not be able to dictate the outcome of elections, even if the donations are legitimate."
