Every pound spent, every vote cast, every connection made — it leaves a trace. In this section, we follow those traces through detailed reporting, investigative articles, white papers, and opinion pieces that map the financial and political decisions shaping the UK. Whether it’s MP expenses, undisclosed interests, or donation patterns, we uncover the story behind the data — and bring it into the public eye.
Since the Milton Project launched in May 2025, our database of donations from the past year has revealed a surprising picture of political donations. And now, it’s easier than ever to explore it.
We believe the dots can be connected - and must be. That’s why we’ve begun by building a comprehensive database of all UK MPs, including their publicly funded expenses and received gifts.
In an era marked by growing political polarisation, increasing influence of money in governance, and widespread public mistrust, transparency is not just important — it is essential.
