Ah, Clavinova the cut and paste queen is here.
Not for long - busy this week.
How is the investigation into Farages' accounts coming on?
No idea - just looked on the Electoral Commission website and found these instead:
7 Dec 2016 Electoral Commission calls for stronger powers to sanction political parties, as Liberal Democrats are fined maximum penalty
"The Liberal Democrats have been fined £20,000 as a result of the Electoral Commission’s investigation into the party’s 2015 UK Parliamentary General Election campaign spending return."
"The investigation found that 307 payments totalling £184,676 were missing from the Liberal Democrats’ spending return without a reasonable excuse.In addition, invoices supporting 122 out of the 307 payments were missing from the return."
“Our investigation uncovered systemic failures in ensuring that the rules were being followed" ... "this is an experienced party that failed to meet the basic requirements of the law, and cases like this undermine voters’ confidence in our political finance system." "This is why we have applied the highest financial penalty available to us."
And again;
19 Dec 2017 Liberal Democrats fined £18,000 for breaches of campaign finance rules.
"Details of £18,000 in fines for the Liberal Democrats have been published today by the Electoral Commission; this follows an investigation that found the party failed to deliver a complete and accurate spending return as a permitted participant at the EU Referendum."
