Change in the law regarding donations via Northern Ireland - with particular reference to a Brexit referendum donation
Suggested change in the law regarding foreign donations to UK elections - with specific reference to the investigation into Arron Banks
Suggested laws concerning the unethical behaviour of companies such as Cambridge Analytica
