Looks like May's attempt at deflection on the basis of "We're all at it" has backfired:






Chris Musson ✔ @camusson

Conservative HQ have been unable to provide evidence of claim by PM today that the SNP were also fined for "mistakes" on "national expenses"





Chris Musson ✔ @camusson

.@NicolaSturgeon Electoral Commission confirms it has "never fined the Scottish National Party for any breaches of the party campaign rules at any election"





Nicola Sturgeon ✔ @NicolaSturgeon

PM should apologise for this attempt to smear @theSNP - unlike Tories, we abide by rules and have never been fined by Electoral Commission


(Local sidelight: Musson works for the Scottish edition of The Sun. It's often fairer on the SNP than most of the other media up here.)
