英国首相安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）曾表态支持设定个人政治捐款上限，但决定不在下周的选举法案中推动相关限制，此举引发活动人士的批评。1 伯纳姆在5月致信活动人士肖恩·鲍勒（Shaun Bowler），表示支持约50万英镑的个人政治捐款上限，并在后续邮件中表示该上限应“随时间逐步降低”。1 然而，下周的选举法案将把投票年龄降至16岁并限制海外英国人捐款，但不设国内捐款上限。1 这一决定导致活动人士指责伯纳姆在捐款上限问题上“U-turn”（立场倒退）。1
与此同时，工党议员斯特拉·克里西（Stella Creasy）提出修正案，拟将国内政治捐款上限设为50万英镑，并在第二年降至10万英镑，该修正案获得跨党派支持。1 政府表示，当前法案聚焦16岁投票权和防范外国干预。1 政府助手称，伯纳姆未排除未来实施捐款上限的可能性。1 此外，政府不支持工党议员安妮莉斯·多兹（Anneliese Dodds）降低选举期间政党支出上限的提议。1
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has decided against pushing for a cap on domestic political donations in next week's elections bill, despite his previous support for a £500,000 limit 1. This move has prompted activists to accuse him of a U-turn on the issue 1. The forthcoming legislation will primarily focus on lowering the voting age to 16 and preventing foreign interference by restricting donations from overseas Britons, rather than setting a domestic donation cap 1.
In a letter sent to activist Shaun Bowler in May, Burnham expressed his backing for a personal political donation cap of approximately £500,000 1. He further indicated in a follow-up email that this limit should be "reduced over time" 1. Labour MP Stella Creasy has introduced an amendment proposing a £500,000 cap on domestic donations, which would be lowered to £100,000 in the second year, and the proposal has received cross-party support 1.
A government aide clarified that Burnham has not ruled out the possibility of implementing further restrictions on donations in the future 1. However, the government has confirmed it will not support Labour MP Anneliese Dodds's proposal to reduce the spending limits for political parties during election campaigns 1.
