BNP donations outstrip UKIP, Electoral Commission figures show

The British National Party received more cash than UKIP in the third quarter of the year thanks to legacy donations, figures show. A single bequest of £94,428 meant the BNP received more than twice the amount in donations than Nigel Farage's party between July and September. The donation, declared in the latest Electoral Commission figures, was the full estate of John Lintell, and is among half a million pounds left to the party by legacy donors in 2016 alone.
