Andy Burnham’s first public register of interests as UK prime minister, covering donations back to June 2025, shows David Sainsbury gave more than £160,000 to support his Labour leadership campaign’s staffing, travel and office costs. The return also records £50,000 from a company linked to media executive Charlie Parsons and £35,000 from Sasha Lord, a former adviser during Burnham’s tenure as Greater Manchester mayor. Total declared donations and gifts are just over £345,000, from a mix of wealthy Labour backers, trade unions and private companies; this is Burnham’s first register since replacing Starmer in July.
