💚 Help keep TheyWorkForYou free and independent

For over 20 years, TheyWorkForYou has been making our democracy more transparent and our politicians more accountable.

We need your support to:

  • Hold Power to Account — We highlight what our representatives are doing so they know the public is watching.
  • Keep It Free and Accessible — No paywalls because everyone deserves unbiased information about decisions made on their behalf.
  • Innovate and Go Further — How politics works is always changing and we're always looking for new opportunites to improve things.

We don't want to wait for a better political system to be given to us – we want to work together to make it happen now.

📖 Registers of Interests

Representatives in the UK's Parliaments need to declare financial interests (such as employment, donations, and gifts) that could be considered by others to influence their judgement or actions.

As part of our WhoFundsThem project, we have written about how the rules on financial interests can be improved.

You can read more about the different kind of data we hold about financial interests, including spreadsheet downloads.
