How Israel funds UK parliamentary staff
JVL Introduction
This article is a useful companion piece to our Lobbying Labour repost.
Declassified has previously revealed that one in four British MPs in the last parliament accepted funding from pro-Israel lobby groups or individuals.
The investigation continues, showing that the Israel government has directly funded staff members for Tory MPs to visit Israel and also for staff of two Labour politicians, in 2018, the then deputy leader and shadow defence secretary.
And the wider Israel lobby (Labour Friends of Israel, Conservative Friends of Israel, We Believe in Israel and more) are at work in many ways, including wooing ministers’ special advisers.
It should raise eyebrow – and hackles!

Thank you for publishing this researched information.
I was generally aware of the malign corrupt influence of Israel on our own so-called parliamentary democracy.
A predominance of establishment politicians together with a predominant establishment media is why it goes on.
Remember how in the run-up to Starmer’s leadership candidacy he refused to name who his major donors were, though the other candidates were content to reveal all?
It was only after his leadership win, duping Labour left-wingers to vote for him with lies, promising to continue to promote Corbyn’s policies, but as soon as he won, it was revealed that his No 1 donor was connected to Israel govt and Starmer and Angela Rainer celebrated at the Israeli embassy.
