The Conservative Party received £1.4 million in donations in the final two days before the General Election, a new report by the Electoral Commission has found.
The register of donations above £7,500 showed Phones4U founder John Caudwell was the biggest donor, who gave the party £500,000.
The SNP got £14,929 and the Brexit Party £50,000 while Labour, the Lib Dems and other parties did not receive any donations above £7,500 in the final two days.
Mr Caudwell wrote in the Daily Telegraph that he made the donation out of fear Labour would win.
He wrote: “My fears of what Labour would do to the fabric of this country had they got in, were increasing,” adding that he had never donated to a political campaign before apart from to Tory MP Sir Bill Cash's campaign for Brexit.
The Electoral Commission said that across its six pre-poll donations reports, political parties in the UK received a total of £30,721,998.
The Conservatives also received the most donations in the final two days of the 2017 election campaign but just £231,333 was donated to parties during that period.
The second biggest donor in the final two days of the 2019 campaign was Sir Ehud Sheleg, the Conservative Party's co-treasurer, who gave the party £375,000.
The SNP received a £14,929 donation from one individual, Moira Louise Stratton, in the final two days.
Former Tory Donor Christopher Harborne made two gifts of £25,000 to the Brexit Party in the final two days, having already handed the party more than £3m since the summer
