Premier League side West Ham United donated £9,000 of club money to the Conservative Party in 2022, according to new documents released by the Electoral Commission.
The Hammers also donated £12,500 back in 2016 - the only other listed donation from the club since their current owners took charge in 2010. West Ham vice-chair Karren Brady, who previously served as a director with Birmingham City, has been a Conservative peer since 2014.
News of the latest donation from West Ham comes after Hammers co-owner David Sullivan slammed the government over plans for an independent football regulator. The donation itself, however, came during the intervening period.
