Tory moneymen: Who supports who

Threats from Tory donors to stop funding the party have become nails for Iain Duncan Smith's coffin. But who are the Conservatives' main money men? (No women are on the list.) And what is their view of the party leader?

Stuart Wheeler
Founder of IG Index spread betting firm.
Amount given: £5million at last general election in 2001.
Attitude: warned last week he will give no more money until IDS goes. He said: "The case for change is overwhelming."

John Majedski
Chairman of Reading FC.
Amount given: £82,300 since 2001.
Attitude: another who wants IDS out, claiming a leadership contest would "clear the air".

Sir Stanley Kalms
Dixons chairman and former Tory treasurer.
Amount given: reportedly £500,000 in first few months of IDS's leadership, then £160,000 last year, dropping to £10,000 this year.
Attitude: has kept his powder dry since resigning as treasurer this summer, but he is thought to be unhappy with IDS's stewardship.

Irvine Laidlaw
Monaco-based Scottish businessman with personal fortune of £500million. Amount given: unknown, but he is understood to be a "very generous" contributor.

Sir Tom Cowie
