• Official accounts show Labour shed 37,215 members in 2024, nearly 10%, leaving 333,235 at year-end after a peak of 532,046 in 2019.
• Labour posted a £3.8 million deficit after spending £94.5 million, while the Conservatives lost £1.9 million on £52 million of spending as overall income fell by more than £9 million.
• The Electoral Commission said Labour’s failure to meet the submission deadline will be considered in line with its enforcement policy.
• Reform UK omitted a formal membership figure in its filed accounts, though its website ticker showed 234,460 supporters; Liberal Democrat membership slipped to 83,174 and the Greens gained about 5,000 members.
• Smaller parties reported surpluses — Reform UK £1.5 million, Liberal Democrats £1.1 million, Greens £232,457 — as Conservatives plan investment in digital infrastructure and training and Labour officials cited rapid campaign responses for their loss.
