Labour received and spent the most by quite a margin even without adding in donations laundered through the Co-operative Party. The Tories were the second highest funded party followed by the Lib Dems and the SNP. UKIP narrowly beat the Co-operative Party and Sinn Féin to receive the fifth highest level of donations.
The Lib Dems, SNP, Sinn Féin and SDLP all spent more money than they received - over £300k more in the case of the Lib Dems and SNP.
