£20,000 fine imposed by the Electoral Commission to BeLeave overturned

I watched the Daily Politics today too. I totally agree POGS with your resume of the situation. Darren Grimes spoke well on the programme in my opinion. He certainly was hounded Urmstongran, there seems little doubt about that.

He was completely exonerated, it was right that the matter was investigated but the hounding was all wrong.Pleased for him.

The 'poor lad' got off on the most extraordinary defence of 'finding the form too complicated to fill in'.

I'd always understood that ignorance is no defence in law. But, there you go. We live in strange times

Nearly all the political parties seem to think they can cheat the system. When Nigel Farage stood in Thanet comes to mind, when it was reported that the Tories bused in lots of supporters to canvass and paid their hotel bills, which would surely have put them over the election spending limit.

I used to be Treasurer of a local UKIP branch and had to account for every single expense, and righty so. We were always way under the limit threshold though as we only had a couple of grand in the bank, whereas the bigger parties were spending in the tens of thousands at election time.
Then, of course, there was Cameron's £9 million Remain leaflet sent out to every home which, conveniently, was posted before the official election expenditure period started!!

I agree POGS I watched ‘Politics Live’ at lunchtime. Talk about hounding of this 22y old by the quango of the Electoral Commission.

Poor lad was delighted to be completely exonerated of any wrong doing.
