LABOUR has had its coffers boosted by £6million from private donors.
Sir Keir Starmer’s party saw a record influx from April to June, with the bulk of it coming from just two individuals.
Long-standing donor Lord Sainsbury gave £3million.
Former Autoglass boss Gary Lubner donated £2.3million.
Unions — including GMB and Unison, whose strikes have hit the public sector — gave the party a total of £739,000.
Overall, Labour raised £7.5million in the three months.
This makes the period one of its best ever fundraising spells.
In the same time frame, the Tories raised £9.9million from donations — around half from health entrepreneur Frank Hester.
