All MPs are paid a base salary of £84,144.

The online database discloses earnings from secondary employment, donations from other associations and gifts, from December 2019 to the present day.

Tortoise Media said: “Although most of this money must technically be disclosed to the public, the way that information is reported, stored and displayed almost guarantees the records will not be widely scrutinised.

“Payment records are spread across different government websites, often split into small files covering short periods of time and regularly published with duplicate entries, spelling mistakes and other errors.

“The data required to examine the financial interests of just one member of parliament is laborious to gather.

“Tortoise Media and Sky News have programmatically collected and analysed thousands of donations and payment records from MPs, political parties, and all-party parliamentary groups (APPGs).”

The project found that most of the extra earnings went to conservative politicians, totalling £15.2m.

Labour received an additional £1.2m.

Former prime minister Theresa May received the most, earning £2,550,876 since the session began in December 2019.

Labour’s shadow foreign secretary David Lammy topped his party’s list with an extra £202,599.

Here’s what our local MPs received…

Gedling MP Tom Randall

Since the beginning of the current parliament at the end of 2019, Mr Randall has declared five financial interests.

The five donations, gifts, payments and other benefits Mr Randall has declared so far are worth the equivalent of approximately £7,700.

Mr Randall’s five interests come from five different sources. Those five sources are: Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI), The Carlton Club, Gerald Clarke, PGZ Naval Shipyard and Voiviode of the Pomeranian Voivodeship.

The largest single item Mr Randall has declared is a gift worth £3,100 from Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI).

The smallest single item is a gift worth £40 from Voiviode of the Pomeranian Voivodeship.
