BANKERS, oil barons and a notorious union-basher were among Tory donors wined and dined by David Cameron while the government made plans to bankrupt Labour, the Morning Star can reveal.

Newly released Conservative Party documents reveal the Prime Minister was among eight ministers who entertained 39 super-rich supporters between October 1 and December 31.

Chancellor George Osborne also attended “Leader’s Group” meals, which donors must pay at least £50,000 a year to attend, in the final three months of 2015.

If each of the guests made the minimum donation, the meals with ministers would have raised £1,950,000 for the Tories.

That far exceeds the total donations received by Labour over the same period from its three biggest union backers.

Unite, GMB and Unison gave Labour £1,619,253 in the final quarter of 2015.

The Bill includes plans, which will be debated in the Lords tomorrow, to impose an opt-in system on trade unions’ political funds.

Labour estimate the partisan move will cost them £8 million between now and the next general election — a third of the party’s entire budget.

A cross-party Lords committee recommended last week that the party funding measures in the Bill should be substantially watered down.

Shadow Cabinet Office minister Jonathan Ashworth said: “This just shows it’s one rule for the Tories and another for everyone else.

“While the Tories are happy to accept millions of pounds from this elite group of donors, they are trying to deny Labour the funding from ordinary working people though the Trade Union Bill.

“The Tories are using every trick in the book to try to keep themselves in power and Labour will oppose them every step of the way.”

Business Secretary Sajid Javid, who is sponsoring the Trade Union Bill, and Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who has sparked a bitter dispute with junior doctors, also took donors to dinner.

The other ministers involved were Home Secretary Theresa May, Education Secretary Nicky Morgan, Culture Secretary John Whittingdale and Cabinet Office minister Matthew Hancock.

Adrian Beecroft, author of an infamous 2012 report recommending a bonfire of workers’ rights, was among the guests.

His Report on Employment Law for the Con-Dem coalition said it should be much easier for bosses to sack workers.

Controversial Lycamobile boss Subaskaran Allirajah was also on the exclusive list.

It was revealed last week that his company, which has given the Tories over £1.5m since 2011, is facing a £9.5m fine from HM Revenue and Customs after failing to submit “acceptable” accounts.

The Star’s analysis of other donors attending the dinners found that 15 are current or former bankers and hedge-fund managers, while two more made their millions from oil.

Unite general secretary Len McCluskey told the Star: “Ordinary folk will feel sick by the company this government keeps, including the arch-destroyer of basic worker rights, Adrian Beecroft.

“Once again we can see that the party of privilege is bought and paid for by the privileged.

“These figures at least explain why the Chancellor drops everything to fly to Brussels to protect the City yet sits on his hands when 5,000 steelworkers are sent to the dole.

“The Lords report said that there was no case whatsoever for the Tories’ assault on unions’ political funds.

“We can only conclude that the government’s determination to press on with its anti-worker, anti-union measures is driven by class spite and a need to suppress all voices of opposition.”

The Star asked the Conservative Party to clarify which guests Mr Cameron met and where the dinners were held.

A spokesman would only say: “All donations to the Conservative Party are properly and transparently declared to the Electoral Commission, published by them, and comply fully with Electoral Commission rules.”
