The CPS have decided there will be no criminal charges against the Tories over the 2015 election campaign.
14 of the cases have been reviewed, Thanet is still under review due to the case having been put forward later than the rest. |

It's not surprising, I understood the CPS statement says there is evidence of inaccurate returns,not enough to advise prosecutions over.
There was a major and in fact biggest fine imposed on the Conservatives over this,so maybe opening the champagne is a little inappropriate. It well may not be criminally an issue,morally for the current governing party,it surely is. Last edited by joeysteele; 10-05-2017 at 01:21 PM. |

Accidentally put the wrong information on a benefits claim form? "You will face large fines and possibly a custodial sentence". File inaccurate returns for a political campaign or political expenses? Absolutely nothing happens. |

Well they did receive a record fine (Labour and the Lib Dems were also fined so its not just a Tory issue)
Not sure what the CPS are expected to do really, if there's no evidence of lawbreaking then they can't just manufacture charges because people are feeling a bit indignant about it.. |

The problem is that there are very few qualified political agents anymore. The battle bus was a national expense and it was shown on the national expenses return. When they used it locally they didn't show it on local expenses because it had already been shown on the national expenses, but actually, they should have entered it as a "Notional Expense".
Train more qualified agents... I know all the parties are stepping back and relying on volunteers and unqualified people. And this is what you get. Last edited by Livia; 10-05-2017 at 01:33 PM. |

Great! Now Labour can't use it as a pathetic weapon against them.

So they broke the law but they're not getting charged because they can't prove that they knew they were breaking the law? A joke

They're making silly threats about defamation now, what happened to 'it was all parties' that were incriminated when they were accused, now they're off the hook it's 'we were victims of a witch hunt!' Pathetic.

He would be more fitting in Trumps team. He's got to be the most hated ex MP this country has ever had.

Enough evidence to give them a record fine but not to prosecute them ?
That makes sense......right ? |
