"The new measures will not apply to backbench MPs who will be free to raise money at private or closed-door events."   The PM is One person, the MPs are 30.  So just what has changed or been "ended"? Backbench MP's are free to attend or host fundraisers and the revenue / donations flow directly to the LPC.  It's no wonder we always end up electing people who feel entitled to their own stupidity - CPC, LPC, no difference.   Cash for access is alive and well.
