A Labour frontbencher accepted £20,000 in donations from a property developer shamed over its failure to remove dangerous cladding. Rosena Allin-Khan has received three large donations from Henley Homes since January last year - including £5,000 for her failed bid to be deputy leader of the party. The property developer was listed among 10 firms responsible for cladding remediation works that had failed to begin as recently as June, although it appears to have since been removed. Henley Homes was also criticised in 2019 over a wall preventing poorer children from playing with their more privileged neighbours on one of its developments. Dr Allin-Khan, the shadow mental health minister, received two donations of £5,000 from Henley Homes at the start of last year, according to Electoral Commission records.
