well, the electoral commission has found that the conservative party is guilty of breaking the electoral donation rules. first we had the paterson scandal, then the illicit christmas parties in number ten and now dodgy payments from a multimillionaire conservative party donor to fund the luxury downing street refurb. i think you know, what is most concerning for me is that the prime minister lied to his own independent adviser who found that there was no misconduct because he was given false information. so, again, i have written to the parliamentary standards commissioner today and the independent adviser to call for a reinvestigation. what evidence is there that this is more than an administrative problem 7 why do you think this wrongdoing is more serious? well, again, borisjohnson is taking the british public for full. he has not only broken the law but making a mockery of the standards we would expect from our prime minister. he has been fined over £17,000 regarding the refurb of his flat. he knows the rules, he knows what he should have declared and he hasn't done it appropriately.

the electoral commission can fine. the electoral commission can fine up to a maximum of £20,000. it is almost at the maximum limit. the tory party responded and said they consider this to be a technical breach of the rules that they are considering an appeal against the decision. clearly, more pressure on downing street today. who decision. clearly, more pressure on downing street today.— downing street today. who will pay the fine? the _ downing street today. who will pay the fine? the tory _ downing street today. who will pay the fine? the tory party, _ downing street today. who will pay the fine? the tory party, i - downing street today. who will pay. the fine? the tory party, i presume. the are the fine? the tory party, i presume. they are the — the fine? the tory party, i presume. they are the ones _ the fine? the tory party, i presume. they are the ones who _ the fine? the tory party, i presume. they are the ones who were - the fine? the tory party, i presume. they are the ones who were found i the fine? the tory party, i presume. | they are the ones who were found to h
