How Icelandic bank's clients filled Tory coffers (UK)
Research by the Guardian shows that clients of the Icelandic bank have handed more than £900,000 to the Conservative party in recent years. Those who donate more than £50,000 in a single year can join the "Leader's Club" and get access to dinners, lunches and other meetings with the Tory party leader. The Conservative party admitted last night that it might need to reconsider some of the donations. "There is a due process to be followed and once it is completed we will, if necessary, review the donations," a spokesman said.
