The Electoral Commission said they will not re-open their investigation into Morgan McSweeney over the Labour Together donations scandal. They said it “found no evidence of any other potential offences.”
“We investigated the late reporting of donations by Labour Together and published our findings in 2021. We determined multiple offences including those relating to the late reporting of donations with a cumulative value of £739,492, as well as the failure to appoint a responsible person. The fine was significant and reflects the seriousness of the offences determined, for which no reasonable excuse was put forward. Earlier this week the Conservative Party wrote to us with concerns that other offences had been committed. We have thoroughly reviewed this information and found no evidence of any other potential offences. We are confident that the initial determination and sanction were appropriate. We are therefore not reopening the investigation.”
Bad news for the Tories…
