Labour 'megadonor' Dale Vince must tell his wife if he plans to make any further donations to the party, the High Court has ordered.
The Ecotricity founder, who has given £1.5million to Labour in the past decade and is expected to donate up to £5million this year, has been ordered to notify his former partner Kate whenever he plans on handing over more cash.

Lawyers acting for Kate said the money was 'being kept invisible from us', adding that the 'lack of visibility is quite frankly appalling', the Financial Times reported.
The 62-year-old eco tycoon will now have to provide a written notice of 'the precise sum of money or value of the asset he intends to donate' as well as the date, time, purpose and recipient of the donation.
