Electoral Commission finds Conservative Brexiter’s complaints about Remain campaign don’t stand up, again

Here we go again. In January the Electoral Commission rejected complaints from a Conservative MP about the Remain campaign in the European referendum. Now they’ve done so again with further complaints:

The Electoral Commission has dismissed allegations made by Tory MP Priti Patel about the spending of pro-EU groups during the 2016 Brexit referendum.

The watchdog said there was no evidence that laws on campaign spending had been breached…

Ms Patel also claimed a number of campaigners with links to BSIE had been late in registering payments, but the Electoral Commission said: “The Commission has not been provided with, or found evidence for an investigation to be opened.” [The Independent]

We do know, however, the Leave campaigners broke the law again and again and again.
