Tory whistleblowers accuse Conservatives of 'huge betrayal' of electorate over expenses

5. Indeed.

There's already been that £70,000 fine (it should also be noted that Labour was fined £20,000 after the last Westminster election for irregularities to do with the Miliband Stone), but without any legal comeback for those responsible, that effectively ranks as just another electoral expense, and means any extra seats won are cheap at the price!

It may not reach a legal threshold but the latitude contrasts with the unyielding approach shown to claimants missing a DWP appointment

It's weird, because ignorance of the law isn't normally a valid excuse for committing a crime.

I haven't heard anything about the extensive bullying etc. allegations to do with the Tory battlebus tour, which led to one suicide and a lot of revelations about the conduct of Tories both young and old, senior and not so senior, for quite a while, so that may pop up again in due course.
