Will new residency-based rules limit who can donate to UK political parties or campaigners?

🤖 Context

YES if, no later than October 31, 2026, the UK government has published or laid before either House the text of primary legislation, a statutory instrument, or a government amendment that would, if enacted, introduce residency-based eligibility criteria for political donations (for example requiring a specified minimum period of habitual residence in the UK). Credible reporting by two or more independent UK national news outlets that such legal text has been published or laid is sufficient to resolve YES, preferably on gov.uk or parliament.uk. Otherwise NO. Voluntary party rules, consultations, non-binding guidance, or internal party procedures do not count.
