Does anyone know whatever happened to this, as I thought for a while there was something dodgy going on, and it just seems to have disappeared from all discussions in recent times.

This is what happens in a one-party state

I guess we'll have to wait for the Russians to publish an exposé

A bit of election fraud and conspiracy between the main parties to keep UKIP out of Westminster........... and for all their hard work, what did they get......... Brexit...... Nigel Farage played the political elite like a "two bob" banjo.......

IIRC the issue was about the "Battle buses".

The Conservatives claimed them as "central expenses" whereas some local constituencies Election officers seem to be of the opinion that a proportion of the cost should be charged against the expenses of the local candidates.

This would also apply to the other parties, so actions against Conservative candidates would be the tip of the iceberg.

A good example would be if Russell Brand rocks up in a by-election to support a Labour candidate.
Does his hotel and bar bill count against the Labour candidate's election expenses ?? (which is what they spend mainly on posters and leaflets).

This is a grey area that needs clarification at a National level

What fraud? By whom? When? Where?

"Discrepancy over National v Constituency Party election expenses classification"
....is not an interesting headline

"Conservative / Labour/ LibDem / UKIP Election Fraud" is an interesting one

i'm fairly sure your memory isn't that bad Ann
