Campaigning journalism from openDemocracy has pushed the UK government to change the law in Northern Ireland over anonymous political donations. On Monday the Northern Ireland secretary James Brokenshire announced the government would end the right of donors to Northern Ireland's political parties to remain anonymous.

This issue came to prominence after openDemocracy exposed that the DUP received a £435,000 donation for its Brexit campaign that was hidden from public view.
